Fellowship and Travel Grants

The Asia Pacific Association of Medical Toxicology is pleased to offer fellowship and travel grant awards every year. Honarary fellowship is a highly regarded award presented to an individual in recognition of a substantive contribution in toxicology at the international level. The travel scholarship awards to outstanding researchers who currently conducting an experimental project in toxicology and only financial members of APAMT are eligible for the travel scholarships.

Criteria for selecting APAMT Honorary Fellows

The APAMT Honorary Fellowship is the highest award of the society. An Honorary Fellow is selected by the board because they have made a substantive contribution to addressing the toxicological problems of the Asia-Pacific region.
