The National Society of Academic Medical Administrators (NSAMA) is pleased to offer Professional Development Travel sponsorship to our members. NSAMA will provide funding of up to $3,500 to support attendance at professional conferences, such as the AAMC Annual Meeting, AHME Institute, or a national specialty program administrator/coordinator conference. Selected individuals will collaborate with the NSAMA administrator to register for the conference and arrange travel accommodations. NSAMA will pay expenses directly whenever possible to reduce out-of-pocket costs for the member.

​

This grant is intended for those who do not have funding from their institution and preference will be given to those who have not been to an in-person conference in the last three years.

​

Important Note:

Applicants should plan carefully when applying for sponsorship and scheduling conference attendance. Hotel blocks for popular conferences can sell out quickly, and timely travel arrangements are essential to secure best rates and availability. Additionally, approval from your program and/or supervisor may take additional time. To support planning efforts, NSAMA recommends reviewing a preliminary conference schedule (which may be available on the conference website) and approximate dates before applying to align attendance plans with approval processes.
