“I am looking forward to sharing research ideas, developing partnerships and learning about surgical culture in Japan,” Chu said. “This opportunity will be very special, and I aim to represent the ACS and UAB Surgery well.”
The purpose of this fellowship is to encourage international exchange of information concerning surgical science, practice, and education and to establish professional and academic collaborations and friendships.
As Chu travels to Japan, another traveling fellow from Japan will visit North America.
