WWPWFM  announces  bursaries to enable women family physicians to attend  the Wonca World Conference in Prague (25- 29 June) and the WWPWFM preconference on Tuesday 25 June.

The WWPWFM is pleased to announce the opportunity to apply for 8 bursaries of $1000 (US) each to attend the conference and the preconference day.

These bursaries are for women family doctors. Each bursary is for $1000 (US). Reimbursement will occur through submission of original receipts only.

This is a time limited opportunity. Applications due on or before 28 April 2013.  The bursaries will be awarded through a competitive process:
