Application for Sponsored overseas delegate
Since 2004, SPANZA has sponsored an anaesthetist with a strong interest in paediatric anaesthesia from a low- or middle-income country (LMIC) to attend the SPANZA Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM). In 2022, SPANZA expanded this program to enable sponsorship of an additional anaesthetist from a Pacific LMIC to attend the ASM in recognition of the highly valued relationship between SPANZA and our anaesthetic colleagues in the Pacific nations.
The sponsorship provides for economy airfares (from the sponsored anaesthetist’s closest main city), accommodation and registration. Successful applicants will be offered either a speaking slot in the main ASM program or a poster presentation. There may be an opportunity for successful applicants to undertake an observership placement at one of the local hospitals either before or after the ASM.
Applicants must be Consultant Anaesthetists.
Previous delegates have included anaesthetists from Uganda, Mongolia, Thailand, Bhutan, Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal, India, Papua New Guinea and Timor Leste.
