Members of the Hungarian Medical Association of America have recently decided to establish an Educational Travel Award to support the scientific work done by medical students at the University of Debrecen. The goal of the Award is to provide new possibilities for the best students to present their work at an international forum, have lively discussions with colleagues from the United States and establish collaborations and professional relationships by participating at our Annual Scientific Meeting in Sarasota, Florida. The Award will be sponsored by Peter Acs, MD, PhD and Geza Acs, MD, PhD, both alumni of the University of Debrecen. It will also serve as a token of their gratitude to the institution.
