International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) Scholarships 2019 for Developing Countries

The International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis is pleased to offer fellowships for developing countries students. These fellowships are awarded for awareness of peritoneal dialysis.

ISPD Scholarships

The purpose of the scholarship is to promote the awareness of peritoneal dialysis by encouraging qualified individuals to extend their knowledge and expertise of peritoneal dialysis by visiting a center of excellence for up to 3 months. The Awards Committee reviews the applications with respect to merit, appropriateness, facility to be visited, the supervising physician at the facility, and geographic distribution of applicants. Preference is given to promotion of peritoneal dialysis in developing countries.

Each award recipient is expected to submit a brief summary of their experience within 3 months after completion of the visit and how they feel their experience will assist them on their return to their home institution and country. The report should be sent to the Chairman of the ISPD Scholarship Committee.
