Access Fund
The AAHPM Palliative Medicine Access Fund was created to raise funds to help educate physicians on palliative medicine, so that one day every American can have access to a properly trained palliative medicine physician.
This program provides full financial support (including registration, travel, hotel and meals) to up to five physicians for attendance at the AAHPM/HPNA Annual Assembly. Scholarships will be available to U.S.-based physicians who are new to the field of palliative medicine, want to switch to the specialty, or desire to incorporate palliative medicine principles into their practice. Preference will be given to applicants who have not attended an AAHPM program in the past and have a demonstrated commitment to the field of hospice and palliative medicine.
The application deadline for the 2009 Annual Assembly has now passed. Award announcements will be made in January 2009.
