The ASG tour promotes international travel for the exchange
of medical ideas.
- During even years, two Americans, one Canadian,
and one British orthopaedic
surgeons tour orthopaedic centers in Austria, Switzerland
and Germany for three to four weeks.
- During odd years, one Austrian, one Swiss and two German
orthopaedic surgeons tour orthopaedic centers in North America
for a three to four week period.
In 1978, the Austrian, Swiss and German Orthopaedic Associations
were the first to sponsor a tour of four young orthopaedic surgeons
who traveled to Britain, the US and Canada. Initially, the tours in
America were annual and arranged with the assistance of individual
American and Canadian orthopaedists.
In 1984, Hans Mau, MD, chairman of the Austrian-Swiss-German
Fellowship Commission, asked the AOA to assist in the coordination
of the hosts and travel arrangements for the 1986 tour. Dr. Mau's
request was approved by the AOA Executive Committee.
ASG Traveling Fellows must be:
- ABOS certified
- No older than 49 years of age the year immediately preceding
the tour
- ABC Alumni are ineligible
