Dr. Albert A. Butler Award in Orthopaedics

Established in 2001 by Kaye Takamatsu-Butler in memory of Dr. Albert A. Butler, M.D., C.M. 1935. The award will be used to support residents doing research in the field of orthopaedics and/or postgraduate orthopaedic training at 麻豆AV. This support can include travel funds for residents to attend conferences, the purchase of research equipment and acknowledgement gifts such as book prizes.

If funds are needed to attend past or future conferences in which a resident is presenting a research oriented project, then residents must submit their abstract (description of the research project) with the projected travel costs (a detailed breakdown of the cost) of the research project all in one document. If funds are needed for a research project, then a descriptive plan with invoices of what the money is to be used for will be considered.

Awarded by the Program Director of the 麻豆AV Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program in consultation with the Associate Dean of Postgraduate Medical Education.

Value: Maximum $8,000

Deadline: End of March every year
