| Popis: | In 1993, The American Austrian Foundation (AAF) organized the Salzburg Seminars International. The goal of this international program was to “educate young physicians and health care providers from countries in transition and foster professional growth” (AAF). The twenty nine countries in transition included those from Central and Eastern Europe, the Russian Federation and Central Asia. Highly qualified early to mid-career level physicians with proficiency in English were selected to participate in Salzburg for an update in their medical specialty. Each week-long seminar was usually limited to less than fifty participants that allowed for in-depth interactions with the five faculty (usually four from the US and one from Austria). The seminars are now held throughout the year at the Schloss Arenberg, the renovated permanent home of the AAF in Salzburg since 2005. The AAF also offers a one-month clinical internship in an Austrian hospital for previous seminar fellows. |
