3. The completed form will be forwarded to Dr. Clancy who will issue duplicates to Dr. Ilyas (for department approval for the time away).
4. All travel reimbursement must meet the requirements of Temple University Policies (ie, use of “World Travel” for booking flights). Marianne Kilbride will furnish the guidelines that must be adhered to.
5. The John Lachman Orthopaedic Research Fund will specifically fund the following:
   1. Resident travel to present original research at regional and national meetings in the continental U.S.
   2. Any residents who produce research papers published in the Temple University Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, or any other peer-reviewed journal, may attend a CME accredited course of their choice within the continental U.S.
