Myers’ Family Summer Travel Fellowship in Otolaryngology Application is Open

Diversity Summer Travel Fellowship in Otolaryngology for under-represented minority medical students 

This program is sponsored by the American Head and Neck Society Research and Education Foundation, thanks to the very generous contributions of Dr. Eugene Myers and Dr. Jeffrey Myers, as well as other AHNS donors.  It is intended to expose an under-represented minority medical student to the field of Head and Neck surgery specifically and Otolaryngology in general. Please click the link here to watch the RFA video to disseminate to your URM M1 and M2 candidates of the AHNS Myers’ Family Summer Travel Fellowship in Otolaryngology.

 

A grant of $5,000 will be awarded to a medical student to cover travel, lodging and food expenses for the summer experience.  This summer program offers the interested candidate the opportunity to work in a Department of Academic Excellence in Head and Neck Surgical Oncology that has an approved Fellowship Training Program from the Advanced Training Council of the AHNS.  Participants will be assigned to a clinical faculty mentor and will rotate on his or her clinical service and have the chance to participate in the care of Head and Neck Cancer patients in the outpatient setting, inpatient environment, as well as the operating room.  Summer fellows will also have the opportunity to perform basic, translational, clinical, or population based research under the guidance of a chosen/assigned research mentor.

 

The grant of $5,000 includes the recipients roundtrip airfare, cost to travel to the meeting, transportation to and from, food and hotel stay expenses at the AHNS Annual/International Meetings. At the AHNS Annual/International Meeting the student will share their Summer experience via PowerPoint presentation and can network with AHNS members.

 

Ideally the candidate is between year 1 and 2 of medical school. Some applicants between year 2 and 3 may have the ability to participate as a fellow award winner but this depends upon their medical school year academic calendar. Our Myers’ Family Summer Travel Fellowship in Otolaryngology FAQ page can be found by clicking here.

Please click this link to apply to the 2021 Myers’ Summer Travel Fellowship

 The application closes March 31, 2021 5PM PST.
