Benjamin H. Kean Travel Fellowship in Tropical Medicine   Benjamin H. Kean, MD, (1912-1993), an internationally acclaimed expert in tropical medicine, discovered the causes of several diseases, including turista, also known as travelers’ diarrhea. Moreover, he was a renowned teacher, researcher and practitioner of tropical medicine whose mentorship and support enabled many medical students and physicians-in-training to begin and sustain their careers in tropical medicine. He fiercely maintained that early hands-on experience in the tropics was the best way to stimulate a career in tropical medicine. Dr. Kean was instrumental in helping many medical students obtain these fundamental experiences that spurred lifetime commitments. The Fellowship honors his significant contributions to the field and, perhaps more importantly, enables his passion for teaching and mentoring to continue. Administered by the Society’s American Committee on Clinical Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health, the Fellowship provides travel expenses for medical students who arrange clinical tropical medicine or tropical medicine research electives in areas afflicted by tropical diseases.
