BIPAI/PIDS
The PIDS/BIPAI scholars program is designed to provide an international infectious disease learning opportunity for young health professionals (med students, residents, or ID fellows). The PIDS/BIPAI scholars program is generously supported by a grant from the Abbott Fund. Scholars receive fully-paid travel and housing to support a one-month elective experience at one of BIPAI's HIV/AIDS Children's Clinical Centers of Excellence. These Centers of Excellence are located in Botswana, Burkina Faso, Lesotho, Malawi, Swaziland, and Uganda. Scholars participate in mentored training on-site by BIPAI faculty. Applicants are encouraged to submit their CV, dates of availability, and country preference (if applicable) to Meg Ferris at mferris@bcm.edu. Applicants should apply 8-10 months in advance of their proposed trip, and should include the phrase "PIDS/BIPAI scholar application" in the subject line of their e-mail. All applications will undergo review by a PIDS/BIPAI committee.
