|
| |
| |
As
announced at the Annual Meeting in Coeur d’Alene, the American
Association of Plastic Surgeons is pleased to have been able to establish
the John D. Constable International Traveling Fellowship in Plastic
Surgery. Dr. Constable has made significant contributions to plastic
surgery education in India, Egypt, Vietnam and Newfoundland, and the
Association is proud to establish an endowment supporting an international
plastic surgery fellowship in his honor.
The fellowship is intended to provide an opportunity
for international plastic surgeons to come to America under the
auspices of the American Association of Plastic Surgeons. The goal
of the fellowship is to improve the fellow’s understanding
of American plastic surgery, and to promote good will and academic
interchange among surgeons of the international and American surgical
communities. The chosen fellow will be in the United States as an
observer for a period of 6-12 weeks under the sponsorship of members
of the American Association of Plastic Surgeons.
