The Graham Education and Research Foundation supports the Evarts A. Graham Memorial Traveling Fellowship program. Since the inception of the program in 1951, fifty-one young surgeons from twenty-eight countries have completed their training at thoracic surgical centers throughout North America. The Foundation also supports the Research Scholarship program, which was established in 1985. Annual and planned gifts to the Foundation help support these fellowship and scholarship programs and provide an opportunity for donors to leave their legacy in cardiothoracic surgery. Planned gifts can include a bequest in one's will, through a life insurance policy or retirement plan or through a charitable lead or remainder trust.

For more information about planned giving, please contact the Foundation at 900 Cummings Center, Suite 221-U, Beverly, Massachusetts, 01915.

EVARTS A. GRAHAM

MEMORIAL TRAVELING FELLOWSHIP

The Evarts A. Graham Memorial Traveling Fellowship was established in 1951 by The American Association for Thoracic Surgery. Administered through the Graham Education and Research Foundation, it provides grants to young surgeons from abroad who have completed their formal training in general, thoracic, and cardiovascular surgery. The award allows the recipient to study a year to intensify his training in a program of special interest and to travel to several sites to broaden his overall training and increase his contacts with thoracic surgeons internationally. Awards are made to surgeons of unique promise who have been regarded as having potential for later international thoracic surgical leadership. Since the inception of the Graham Fellowship, 50 young surgeons from 27 countries have completed their training at thoracic surgical centers.
