Eugene S. Mayer Traveling Fellowship

In 1976, John Lister, MD, of the United Kingdom, and Christopher Fordham, MD, of the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Medicine, created the Traveling Fellowship—an exchange program whereby AHEC-based faculty from North Carolina spend a month studying aspects of the British medical education and health services delivery system. In return, NC AHEC hosts fellows selected by the National Association of Clinical Tutors (NACT) from the United Kingdom. In 1996, the American portion of the exchange became known as the Eugene S. Mayer Fellowship, thanks to contributions made in memory of the longtime NC AHEC director.
