GHO Awards and Programs
Awards
The ASA Nicholas Greene, M.D. Award for Outstanding Humanitarian Contribution will be awarded annually to the ASA member who meets one or more of the criteria, is nominated by a peer or colleague and selected by the Committee on Global Humanitarian Outreach. Read more about the award.
Programs
The only remaining teaching program in keeping with the original mission of the Overseas Teaching Program is the collaboration between the ASA and the Canadian Society of Anesthesiologists in Rwanda. The ASA supports this collaboration by providing member volunteers and financially supporting travel to this teaching site for approximately six ASA members a year. We expect the ASA support of the Rwanda program to end in 2015 as the GHO continues to expand its scope of outreach.
For travel reimbursement requests and information, please contact Lupe Simpson.
