The SICOT Foundation was formed in 1990 to manage funds donated for the purpose of helping SICOT achieve its research and educational goals. The Foundation has not only supported young surgeons from developing countries to train abroad and learn skills that can be applied in their own countries, but has also promoted global unity among these orthopedists. It has supported training in methods of research and in techniques for the better management of orthopaedic services to the public. The Foundation has promoted unity among orthopaedic surgeons from around the world.
Funding Opportunities
Primary funding comes from organizations and individuals wanting to contribute to its scientific and education activities. Donors are invited to make contributions to “The SICOT Foundation” either for its general use or in support of specific programs.
Examples of programs administered by the Foundation are the Lester Lowe, Korean, Marcela Uribe Zamudio (for women in orthopaedic training), and SICOT/SIROT Awards, which provide opportunities for young trainees in orthopaedics and traumatology to participate in international SICOT conferences. The Canadian Scholarship offers departments of orthopaedics and traumatology the opportunity to have an objective assessment of the quality of their patient care. The Assiut University/SICOT Training Fellowships provide young English-speaking surgeons from Africa training and experience at Assiut University in Egypt.
The SICOT Foundation is incorporated in the United States and is registered as a charitable trust in the State of New Hampshire. It is designated by the United States Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) private non-profit organization. Contributions to the Foundation may be sent to:
