Since the inception of the International Fellowship (IF) Program in the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2006, training has been provided to 219 residents, neurosurgeons, and medical students from 18 countries and five continents. These IFs took a long academic and geographic journey to improve their skills in patient care. The advanced training, they received lead to 14 of these IF neurosurgeons to return to their hometowns with higher academic appointments, including two chairmen, seven professors, two associate professors, two assistant professors, and one consultant neurosurgeon. An additional measure of success for the IF Program is that fellows continue to communicate with their mentors and with their prior fellow international colleagues long after their fellowship ends.
自2006年威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校神经外科系国际奖学金（IF）项目启动以来，已为来自18个国家和五大洲的219名住院医师、神经外科医生和医学生提供了培训。这些获得国际奖学金的人员经历了漫长的学术和地域之旅，以提高他们的患者护理技能。他们接受的高级培训使其中14名获得国际奖学金的神经外科医生回到家乡后获得了更高的学术职位，包括两名系主任、七名教授、两名副教授、两名助理教授和一名神经外科顾问。国际奖学金项目成功的另一个衡量标准是，学员在奖学金结束很久之后仍继续与他们的导师以及之前的国际同行保持联系。
