Resident International Elective Awards

These are only few rich testimonials from previous award winners. It is evident, judging by these examples, that the future of the world’s children is in good hands. Please consider helping SOICH expand this opportunity to more pediatric residents. Consider a donation to the AAP’s tax-deductible Friends of Children Fund, designated for SOICH’s Resident International Elective Award. We also welcome your participation as a grant reviewer; please e-mail Kim VandenBrook at KVandenbrook@aap.org for more information.
