Observership Grant

BIRG Observership Grant

What the BIRG Observership Grant is about:

Transmission of knowledge is one of the key issues for BIRG. We believe that knowledge should be shared and discussed with others in order to stimulate the scientific community as a whole. 

If the matter is complex and a course alone is not enough, an internship may be the right way to accomplish this. The BIRG Observership Grant is there to finance such observership stays in order to transfer your plans into reality.  

The BIRG Board decides on the possible award of an observership within 3 months after submission.

 

Details:

  • The BIRG Observership Grant is directed to fully trained hand and plastic surgeons and trainees in the final stage of their professional education.
  • The applicants are encouraged to express a ranking of hospitals of their choice. If possible and available, the wish of the applicant will be considered.
  • The whole scope of current hand surgery may be subject of the observership.
  • The observership grant will only cover part of the estimated total expense. Most hospitals provide economic basic accommodation for attending guests.
