ASCP Global Health Fellowship Application Opens

ASCP is excited to announce the opening of applications for the 2024 ASCP Resident Global Health Fellowship. This prestigious opportunity allows pathology residents and fellows to expand their experience by engaging in pathology practice in a low- to middle-income country. Eligible applicants must be Resident or Fellow-in-Training members of ASCP, currently training in pathology in the U.S. or Canada. The application deadline for this opportunity is November 1, 2024.

The fellowship offers $5,000 in travel and stipend support for one resident to travel to the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) in Moshi, Tanzania, and participate in the Coalition for Implementation Research in Global Oncology (CIRGO) grant research. Under the guidance of Dr. Alex Mremi, MD, PhD, Head of the Department of Pathology at KCMC and principal investigator, the selected fellow will contribute to the ongoing research project on prostate cancer awareness, barriers to screening, and correlations with PSA levels among men in Northern Tanzania.

The fellowship includes a one-month in-country stay in Moshi, to take place between January and June 2025, as well as virtual collaboration on the project before and after the visit.
