ASA-SAAS Surgical Leaders Fellowship Grant

This award is sponsored by the American Surgical Association and SAAS to provide funds to travel to an ASA member’s home institution for a shadowing experience of being a surgical leader in academic surgery.  A SAAS member will be selected every other year, on even years.

The grant funding is $5,000 (SAAS and ASA will each contribute $2500) and will be awarded to the Fellow’s home institution. The home institution and/or Fellow will be responsible for any additional expenses incurred during the Fellowship.
