Other Information
The program provides each fellow with an additional $5000 for purchasing additional education material and conference attendance above and beyond the salary.
As we strive to tailor each fellows experience around their particular interest, fellows are able to use resources to purchase supplies or defer travel expenses to meet their particular educational goals. For example one fellow used some of his allotment to travel to Latin America for several meetings as he developed a ultrasound course for the Pan American Collaborative.
