As a lasting memorial to the extraordinary life and work of the late Claude H. Organ, Jr., MD, FACS, former ACS President, his family and friends have established an endowment through the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Foundation to provide funding for an annual fellowship to be awarded to an outstanding surgeon from the Society of Black Academic Surgeons, the Association of Women Surgeons, or the Surgical Section of the National Medical Association. The fellowship is available to a U.S. or Canadian ACS Fellow who is 45 years old or younger. The award of $5,000 (USD) will support the travel, per diem, and course costs for the recipient to attend a meeting or make a research-related visit.
Applications are due by September 1, 2010, via e-mail. The award will be presented at the ACS Foundations' Fellows Leadership Society Luncheon on October 4 in Washington, DC, during the ACS 96th Annual Clinical Congress.
