International Travel Awardees

The International Committee works to enhance our relationships with our international partners in the colon and rectal specialty. As we work to engage surgeons in other countries, we hope to expand knowledge about the specialty and broaden available educational opportunities in order to better serve patients internationally.

We started our work with the International Travel Awards several years ago. These awards enable medical professionals from areas that are underserved and possibly have limited access to colon and rectal educational opportunities to attend our Annual Meeting and visit programs in the U.S. Our awardees have learned new techniques and surgical methods, which they plan on implementing in their own countries. Below are the most recent awardees with links to their final award summary reports.
