Observerships, Research Scholarships for Chinese IMGs

CAHON, which stands for Chinese American Hematologists and Oncologists Network, is a fairly new organization started in 2005 and offers the following funded scholarship positions for MDs from China:



Following positions are offerered:


Scholar for Translational Research: Lab-based Basic Science Research
- Candidates must have M.D. and/or Ph.D. or equivalent degree(s) with laboratory research experience


Scholar for Clinical Research: Clinical Research
- Candidates must have an M.D. or equivalent degree with interests in clinical research


Scholar for Clinical Excellence: Clinical Observership + Clinical Research
- Candidates must have an M.D. or equivalent degree with interests in patient care


These competitive scholarships are open to all faculty members at an academic or medical institution in China who have shown keen interests and great potential in either cancer research or cancer patient care.


Visa Process arranged between the scholars and their research preceptors. Am guessing these are going to be J1 research scholar positions. These should be very useful for Chinese IMGs thinking Pathology, Surgery, Internal Medicine residency and of-course fellowships in Hemo-Oncology.
