Heidi Patriquin Fellowship Award for International Education

Introduction: This award is designed to subsidize the SPR meeting attendance expenses of Pediatric Radiologists who practice outside of North America.  This Fellowship award was developed in recognition of Dr. Heidi Patriquin's commitment to international education.  The first award was in 2003.

Pediatric Radiologists who reside and practice outside of North America, who seek to attend the SPR Annual Meeting and need financial support to do so, are eligible candidates for the Patriquin Fellowship.
