1st Annual International Travel Grant
NMPRA has always encouraged international electives as a way to broaden your education and clinical skills. The 2010 NMPRA Executive Board is proud to announce its newest award: the NMPRA International Health Travel Grant.
Each academic year, NMPRA will award $500.00 to a Med-Peds resident planning to complete a clinical Internal Medicine or Pediatric elective in the developing world during residency.
Applications for the International Health Travel Grant will be due July 15th, 2010. The NMPRA Executive Board will serve as the selection committee and the award winner will be notified within a month of this deadline.
Award requirements are as follows:
- The elective should be at least 4 weeks, and primarily clinical.
- Applicants must be a resident at time of application deadline.
- Applicants must submit application prior to leaving for the elective.
- Applicants must develop a list of written objectives prior to departure.
- Applicants must identified a preceptor in the host country.
- Upon return, award recipients must submit a written summary of their experiences to the NMPRA and be prepared to present at the following year’s National Med-Peds Resident’s Association Conference in October of the following year.
- Post-residency training fellows and previous recipients are not eligible to apply.
The application will be available year-round at http://www.medpeds.org/residents/international.asp
Please do not apply for this award if you are being paid for this rotation in addition to your regular resident salary. However, you may seek other sources of funding for your rotation in addition to this award.
Applicants must be a member of NMPRA. If you are not currently a member of NMPRA but would like to join, please go to www.medpeds.org to find out how to join.
Awards will be given solely on the basis of the application and an accompanying recommendation from your program director. Your application will be considered incomplete without your program director's completed recommendation form.
Good Luck and Happy Traveling!

Stories in Medicine
I am a physician practicing Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. This blog chronicles my life first as a medical student, then as a resident. It is about stories of medicine. If you think 'Scrubs' or 'Grey's Anatomy' tells the stories of a resident's life, then here is what it is really like (for one resident, anyway).
