CMCF has created partnerships with pediatric speciality associations to create International Medical Fellowship Selection Committees to review and recommend candidates for CMCF funding.  These Committees, which include the Polish Pediatric Selection Committee and the Ukrainian Pediatric Selection Committee also serve to build “International Medical Bridges” which promote the further development of joint training programs and other partnership opportunities that better address a country’s pediatric medical needs.

In 2013, a new Ukrainian Fellowship Selection Committee was established with membership as follows:

  • Chaired by Professor Yuriy Korzhynsky – Pediatrician, Neonatologist, Head of the Chair of Pediatrics and Neonatology of the Faculty of Postgraduate Education, Lviv National Medical University
