Travel Fund
Background
The Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology fosters academic development and advancements in women's health care and reproduction. Scholarly activity by General Ob/Gyn residents, and fellows/subspecialty residents is supported through the Travel Fund. The Finance Committee will consider applications, as they are received, at their monthly meetings. Individuals may only submit one request per academic year (July 1st to June 30th)
Rules of the Road
- APPLICATIONS NEED TO BE RECEIVED AND APPROVED AT LEAST ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THE PLANNED TRAVEL. (i.e., an application will not be considered for reimbursement if it has been submitted AFTER the travel.)
- Travel encompasses costs for transportation, registration fees, meals (maximum $65 per day (travel in Canada and US) and $85 CAD (travel outside of North America), maximium 2 days), and up to two nights accommodation, to a maximum of $2,000. Completion of a proposed budget is required before the application will be considered by the Finance Committee (See application form link below)
- Once approved and after travel has been completed, a Western travel expense report must be prepared and submitted along with original receipts. If flying, original boarding passes are required with the receipt and, if submitting dinner receipts, the detailed dinner receipt is required as well as the names of the attendees. All receipts should be submitted to Penny Sim, Administrative Officer, within a month after the meeting.
