What is an Explorations in Biomedicine Retreat?
Explorations in Biomedicine Retreats were held in 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2002.  Participants receive print and online educational resources, including APS publications and resources and teacher-developed activities on the web; an opportunity to apply for travel fellowships to scientific meetings for teachers/faculty and students; and an opportunity to apply for APS summer programs.  

Retreats are usually held during fall weekends at sites across Montana.  Standard costs for travel to meeting sites are reimbursed.
