The ACS International Relations Committee offers global traveling fellowship exchanges to support education-based travel to various countries, with Fellows from the US and Canada visiting international locations and a Fellow from those locations visiting North America.

For the Traveling Fellowship to Japan, the Fellow will spend a minimum of 2 weeks in Japan, where they will attend and participate in the 2026 meeting of the Japan Surgical Society in Sapporo, attend the Japan ACS Chapter meeting during that congress, and visit at least two medical centers in Japan to share clinical and scientific expertise with local surgeons.

Specific itineraries will be finalized after the Fellows are chosen. Apply today to take part in this unique, enriching international opportunity. Apply by August 30.
