Mr. A.W. Clausen was one of the earliest and strongest supporters of Microclinic International, a non-profit organization founded in 2005 with the aim of revolutionizing the way deadly diseases are prevented and managed around the world. The Clausen Fellowships at Microclinic International were named in honor of Mr. Clausen and his wife Helen Clausen. Since the inception of Microclinic International’s Clausen Fellowship program, 9 students and recent graduates have been awarded undergraduate, postgraduate, and postdoctoral fellowships to support the establishment and study of microclinic networks in sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and the United States.
