The ASA Committee on Global Health (CGH) will announce the application cycle for the 2025-2026 scholarship program for U.S. anesthesiology residents to spend a month in a resource-poor setting later this year. The site for the rotation will be a CURE Hospital or a CGH-affiliated site (travel subject to world conditions at the time). Residents will have the opportunity to experience the challenges of delivering safe anesthesia in a low-resource, underserved area in a developing country as well as participate in the training and education of local anesthesia providers. With appropriate planning, the resident will be eligible to receive ABA credit. Covered expenses include travel, lodging, meals, visa, vaccinations, and medical insurance.
