The Harold Vigersky Practicing Physician Travel Award, established by President Robert Vigersky and named after his father, was developed for clinical practitioners in private practice to help offset the cost associated with attending The Endocrine Society’s Annual Meeting (ENDO) or Clinical Endocrinology Update (CEU).   The application deadline is February 12, 2010. 

The 2010 recipient will receive an award totaling approximately $2,000, which includes meeting registration fees for ENDO or CEU plus a $1,500 allowance for travel and lost productivity. Physicians working in private practice who are not reimbursed for travel to clinical meetings or CME conferences are encouraged to apply. Specific eligibility requirements and the online application form are available on the Society’s website at http://www.endo-society.org/vigerskyaward.
