Dr. Vijay Kannan, PGY-2, awarded EMRA International EM Scholarship

From Dr. Kannan: The EMRA International EM Scholarship supports an EMRA member's plans to attend an international emergency medicine conference. It is granted to a single applicant each year based upon his or her contributions to the conference, past academic achievements, and prior international experience. I will be using this award to fund my travel and registration to the biennial International Conference on Emergency Medicine (ICEM) conference in Cape Town, South Africa. There I will be presenting an epidemiological survey of pediatric trauma patients presenting to an urban referral hospital in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. I will also be working for the World Health Organization to facilitate a consensus development meeting of the WHO Emergency Care System Assessment Tool.
