CMCF is committed to expanding its fellowship program beyond the borders of Eastern Europe to include countries that have similar training needs as found in Eastern Europe. Each new country pediatric training program requires separate funding source in order to be initiated.  Donors interested in supporting the development of new pediatric fellowship programs, please contact bjoern@cmcf.org.
