Canada Travelling Fellowships

Traveling Fellowships

Travelers will find a warm welcome in Canada. The James IV Association of Surgeons is supported by all the university departments of surgery in Canada. The Canadian section meets every September at the Canadian Surgery Forum.

James IV travelers are held in high regard in Canada. We have participated in the James IV traveling fellowship since 1962 when Dr Angus McLachlin, University of Western Ontario, became the first Canadian traveler. Canadian travelers have gone on to distinguished careers in surgery and leadership positions in academic surgery.

James IV directors and former Canadian travelers look forward to hosting travelers. We will share exciting academic endeavors and clinical developments with you. We look forward to hearing about work being done by travelers.

We will guide travelers and their families through the beautiful environment in which we are fortunate to live.
