Dear Korean American Radiation Oncologists,
I would like to invite submissions of abstracts for KASTRO’s annual U.S. resident/fellow travel award to ASTRO / KASTRO2019. The travel award to the ASTRO / KASTRO 2018 meeting will be $1,000 towards travel expenses and a certificate. The recipient will present the chosen abstract at the KASTRO dinner meeting on Tuesday, September 17, 2019 at 6 pm in Chicago, Illinois.
Eligibility for Travel award to ASTRO / KASTRO:
A resident or fellow of Korean ancestry currently in a radiation oncology training program in the U.S. Those who completed training before 6/30/19 are still eligible if the work was completed during residency or fellowship training. The abstract should have been accepted for presentation (oral or poster) at this year’s ASTRO or RSNA meeting, and the applicant should be the first author.
I would also like to invite submissions of abstracts for KASTRO's annual US resident/ fellow/ junior faculty travel award to Seoul, Korea for the Korean Society for Radiation Oncology (KOSRO) meeting on Friday, October 11, 2019 at the The Plaza, 119 Sogong-Ro, Jung-Gu, Seoul, Korea 04525. KOSRO's website is http://www.kosro.or.kr/.
The travel award to the KOSRO meeting will be for $2,000 towards travel expenses and a certificate. The recipient will present the abstract at the annual KOSRO meeting in Seoul, Korea on Friday, October 11, 2019 and submit a short essay on his/her visit to KOSRO. This essay will be posted on the Korean ASTRO facebook page and KOSTROgram. If the recipient would like to spend a few days at one of the radiation centers in Korea, further arrangements may be made.
Eligibility for Travel award to KOSRO:
Same as the travel award to ASTRO/KASTRO except that junior faculty members who completed residency or fellowship programs after 6/30/2016 and completed the work as a faculty member are also eligible.
Please email the abstract submission by Friday June 6, 2019, to Dr. Sara Kim. The award recipients will be notified by Friday, June 20, 2019.
Sincerely,
Sara H. Kim, MD
