Sharing your international experience
The Don & Elizabeth Hillman International Child Health Grant was created by the International Child Health Section with the underlying philosophy of promoting international health opportunities for residents and fellows.
The section has established two $750 grants to be awarded annually, which are to be used towards completing a paediatric elective in developing countries.
Requirements
Candidates will be assessed based on their responses to a series of questions related to interest and thoughtfulness about the impact of the elective on personal and professional futures.
Candidate must:
- Be registered as a resident or fellow in a Canadian paediatric postgraduate training program.
- Be a member of the CPS International Health Section.
- Have support from a preceptor in the host country and from their residency program director.
- Have a preceptor in the host country willing to formally evaluate the candidate while they are abroad.
- Demonstrate appropriate preparation in advance of the elective as evidenced by a completed checklist of pre-travel arrangements.
The international elective must:
- Relate to child health,
- Be at least four weeks in length,
- Be in a low or middle income country, unless travel is intended for disaster relief or other work/research related to health in developing countries, and,
- Be a clinical or research elective. Applications for courses or conferences will not be accepted.
Priority will be given to applicants who are not receiving funding or payment for their overseas rotation in addition to their regular resident salary. A candidate may apply up to two times for the grant; however, past recipients are not eligible to re-apply.
Submissions
Submissions must be received prior to travel. Apply on-line or complete and return the application form. Applications must be received before the appropriate deadline for consideration. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered.
Applications must be submitted to:
