Rural and Remote ASM Bursary
The AOA Rural and Remote ASM Bursary Program – supporting members outside the ‘big smoke’.
AOA, the AOA president, and Rural Surgeons Committee are pleased to provide a Rural and Remote ASM Bursary. The bursary is offered as a way of engaging with new and current rural and remote members, recognising the accessibility issues faced by these members. The 83rd AOA ASM, with the theme 'Rural Surgery – Build it and they will come', will take place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 12–16 November 2023.
The Rural and Remote Bursary includes:
- full cost of ASM registration (including social functions)
- return flights to Melbourne (excluding VIC)
- up to four nights’ accommodation at a premium hotel in Melbourne’s CBD.
One bursary will be available for each participating state/territory – VIC, ACT, QLD and WA allocated to an associate member or fellow and fellow – NSW only. A SA/NT bursary is being negotiated. A TAS bursary will not be available in 2023.
