American Austrian Foundation Fellowships- The Andlinger Residency Exchange Program

The American Austrian Foundation awards fellowships to outstanding American and Austrian medical residents to participate in the Andlinger Residency Exchange Fellowship Program. The Fellowship Program bears the name of Mr. Gerhard R. Andlinger, a successful American businessman with Austrian roots and a trustee of the AAF. Mr. Andlinger has generously supported this program since its inception. Started in 1992, more than 130 medical residents from Austria and the United States have rotated through departments for one month. This bilateral exchange provides a minimum of two weeks up to a maximum of one month’s training for Austrian medical residents in the United States and for American medical residents in Austria at one of our partner institutions. The program aims to supplement the resident’s education and to broaden his/her experience through exposure to a foreign healthcare system.
