ANZSGM SCHOLARSHIP 2010
APPLICATIONS OPEN 1 JUNE 2010
The ANZSGM Scholarship is provided by the Society to promote overseas work experience for Advanced Trainees in Geriatric Medicine, who are members of the Society, and to promote and foster, in Australia and New Zealand, future excellence in clinical geriatrics and research.
The fund is primarily intended to assist members who are advanced trainees at the time of application in undertaking overseas positions.
The funds may be used for any purpose which facilitates travel, relocation or employment expenses to an overseas site. Priority will be given to trainees undertaking research, because research positions are less likely to be less well remunerated.
The current value of the ANZSGM Scholarship is $10,000.

ANZSGM-Lundbeck Fellowship - Will not be offered in 2010
The ANZSGM-Lundbeck fellow for 2009 is Associate Professor Renuka Visvanathan, Director of the Aged and Extended Care Service at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Adelaide.
The Fellowship, which is entirely non-promotional, is funded by Lundbeck and involves a week long course at the Lundbeck Institute in Skodsborg, Denmark on Dementia and Late Life depression, with a small number of other delegates from Australia and New Zealand and groups from four other countries. Following the Institute course, the Fellow is subsidised to attend a centre of excellence in Geriatric Medicine in Europe. Dr Visvanathan is planning to spend her second week visiting the Clinical Gerontology Unit at King’s College Hospital, London, hosted by Professor Stephen Jackson.
Dr Visvanathan, the sixth Fellow, from the Society to be selected, is congratulated on her selection and we look forward to seeing a report of her Fellowship in a subsequent edition of the Newsletter. The Fellowship is available to full members of the Society who are within ten years of receiving the FRACP.
