Mid-America Orthopaedic Association
offers a variety of educational grants. These include:
Multipurpose Resident Grants
We award three $4,000 grants each year to selected residents. The resident
selected is expected to enlarge their horizon on research, travel, or study that they
otherwise would not experience. Recent selectees have studied in India (hand surgery),
Switzerland (acetabular reconstruction), and have performed research at
their home institution. These grants are open to orthopedic residents in
their third, fourth, fifth, or sixth postgraduate years (not a research
or fellowship year) and are located in the 20-state Mid-America region.
The
application deadline for the 2008-2009 Multipurpose Resident Grants is
July 1, 2008.

deadline for the 2008-2009 fellowship is July 1, 2008. Please note that
