- Duration should be from 4 to 7 days.
- The Visiting Professor will give an intensive course on a selected issue, or a series of lectures on selected topics (both, 10 – 14 hours). A detailed program should be included.
- Grand rounds or all?Faculty plenary lecture will be part of the program.
- If appropriate, there will be scheduled meetings of the Visiting Professor with each research fellow for review of their data. These meetings should form the basis for future interactions with the Visiting Professor.
- Discussion of laboratory methods will be organized if applicable.
- If possible, meetings with Dean, Director of Medical Center and Health officials will be arranged
- Business class airfare, accommodation and living expenses will be covered by ISTH. All other expenses, such as local transportation, will be covered by the host center.
- The visit should be widely advertised and invitations to attend the lectures should be distributed throughout the host center and region. On all documents it should be mentioned that this is an ISTH sponsored Visiting Professor program.
- Following the visit, the Visiting Professor and the Director of the host center will each write a one page report and send it to the Education Committee of the ISTH Council.
