Resident Leadership Travel Grants

Resident Leadership Travel Grants

A limited amount of funding is available to facilitate and support resident leadership development opportunities.  PGME recognizes that participation in conferences, seminars and meetings which encourage trainees to cultivate and demonstrate this aptitude is beneficial for achieving academic success and realizing career goals.

In order to be eligible for this funding, the resident must:

  • Have demonstrated interest and capacity in leadership
  • Make evident  that the event/conference  has a strong leadership development component
  • Submit the completed Leadership Application Form by the deadline date
  • Submit a CV highlighting information to support the application
  • Meet all the additional requirements, terms and conditions outlined in the Resident Leadership Grant Application

 

Starting January 2024, we will be introducing a new rolling deadline for the Resident Grant Program. The application window will now be open every third Friday of the month, allowing residents to submit applications for conferences/events at any point in the future.

Key Changes:

 

  1. New Rolling Deadline: The application submission window will be open every third Friday of the month, providing greater flexibility for residents to plan and apply for conferences/events. For the 2024 calendar year, the deadline will be:
