The Disease Resident Travel Fellowship checks will be awarded at a breakfast sponsored by Allergen during Academy 2012 Phoenix on Saturday, October 27, 2012. The application notes that priority for the Travel Fellowship will be for applicants who have a paper or poster selected by the Residents Day Committee for Academy 2012 Phoenix.
