The American College of Surgeons (ACS) is offering scholarships to subsidize attendance and participation in the Executive Leadership Program in Health Policy and Management at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University. Applications are due February 1, 2017. The 2017 course will take place June 4−10. The $8,000 award may be used toward the cost of tuition, travel, housing, and subsistence during the period of the course and the post-course follow-up period.
