Visiting Professor Role Description:
Visiting professors spend 1-2 weeks at a time, teaching residents, medical students, and attending physicians in clinic, OR, and didactic sessions. Between and after local visits, ongoing support from the professors would greatly increase successful learning outcomes. For example, this ongoing assistance could be provided through the development of joint tumor boards by telemedicine and mentoring via email.
Start Date:
2009 - 2010 TBD based on program(s) needs, availability and volunteer skill match
Funding:
Under our current guidelines, the local residency program is responsible for paying in-country ground transportation, lodging, and meals. The Visiting Professor Fund will underwrite coach-class airfare.
