CSI San Francisco - Educational Allowance Application

Terms and conditions
This application is intended only for an educational allowance for fellow’s attendance of CSI San Francisco. Any paperwork required to attend the workshop (eg. visa) remains the responsibility of the attendee. Once the educational allowance has been accepted by the attendee, it cannot be transferred to another recipient, unless written consent and agreement can be sought by all parties (including the congress organisation and University of California San Francisco). If the applicant is unable to take part in CSI San Francisco, they are obliged to officially cancel their allowance as soon as possible to allow another candidate to benefit. Cancelling and failing to notify the congress organisation may lead to disqualification for any future educational allowances organised by UCSF, CSI Foundation or cme4u GmbH. The educational allowance will be deemed unused in case of applicant’s absence due to illness or other unavoidable circumstances and will require written explanation to CSI Foundation and cme4u GmbH. No reimbursements will be made in case of cancellation. The CSI San Francisco hands-on trainings and workshops are CME-accredited.



Application process
Deadline for applications for the educational allowance is on September 20, 2019. Successful candidates will be chosen based on criteria listed below. Successful candidates will be notified by email after October 4. For the best chance to secure the educational allowance, please apply as early as possible, as educational allowances will be capped to manage expectation. The congress organisation reserves the right to amend or close the application deadline when seeing fit.
