平特五不中 Division of General Surgery听Academic Fund Travel Support
The Division of General Surgery encourages and supports research performed by its members. Through the Division of General Surgery Academic Fund, to which all surgeons in the division contribute, we can support some travel expenses by students, residents, and fellows working in the division. The priority is to support travel for individuals presenting their research. Depending on demand, some funding may also be available for those wishing to learn new skills by attending a course or meeting substantially related to General Surgery or education.
A maximum of $2000 reimbursement is allotted per meeting per resident PER YEAR. Residents can apply for 1 reimbursement per year. Applications sent after the conference will automatically be refused.
Application for support must be made in advance, by filling out the form (Application for G.S. travel support). This form may be requested by email from Domenica Cunzo at domenica.cunzo [at] muhc.mcgill.ca. Support for duplicate presentations is not available. Residents are required to submit a draft of their manuscript with their reimbursement request. The funding will not be approved without the manuscript. Abstracts are also not accepted.
Travel support includes:
- Discount economy round-trip airfare. For any higher level airfare (e.g. Air Canada latitude fare), the applicant will be responsible for the difference between lowest airfare and the higher level, so please book well in advance.
- Transport between airport and hotel at destination
- Hotel cost during meeting dates. This will be up to the rate at the headquarters hotel for the meeting. Any additional time the applicant stays at the destination will not be reimbursed.
- Registration fees for the meeting and approved postgraduate courses
- A per diem of up to $50/day toward meals and expenses (receipts required)
Please note: Expenses for alcoholic beverages and entertainment will not be reimbursed.
To obtain reimbursement, please provide to Domenica Cunzo within 30 days of completion of travel:

For airfare, the e-ticket receipt (or back page original receipt for paper ticket), and original or photocopy of the boarding passes.
