The AST is pleased to announce The 2017 Resident/Student American Transplant Congress (ATC) Travel Award Program, targeted at residents and students who have expressed interest in obtaining more exposure to the field of transplantation before committing to training .
Objective
The goal of this award program is to stimulate interest in a potential career in transplantation by supporting medical students and residents (medical, surgical, or pediatric) with an interest in the field who have not yet committed to training in transplantation.
The American Transplant Congress (ATC), which takes place April 29 – May 3-15, 2017 in Chicago, IL, is the premier meeting for transplant-related education and networking. This travel award will allow interested medical students and residents to attend this meeting, learn more about transplantation as a career path, and connect with a community of mentors.

This award program includes four key components:
- Free ATC meeting registration
- Grant for reimbursable travel expenses up to $1,000 to attend ATC
- Tailored events and networking opportunities at ATC
- A faculty mentor who will be a resource for guidance before, during, and after ATC
Awardees will be expected to attend the ATC annual meeting, a luncheon workshop, the AST Town Hall, and various Communities of Practice (COP) meetings during ATC. There will also be a Welcome Reception with AST representatives.
