Palliative Medicine Access Fund

AAHPM’s Palliative Medicine Access Fund provides scholarships to cover registration fees (excluding preconference workshops) and $500 toward travel-related expenses (airfare, hotel, cab fare, and meals) for the Annual Assembly.

Eligibility

You’re eligible for a Palliative Medicine Access Fund scholarship if you are an AAHPM member, an US-based physician, fellow, or resident currently practicing hospice and palliative medicine. AAHPM gives preference to applicants who

  • have not previously attended the Annual Assembly
  • demonstrate a commitment to the field of hospice and palliative care
  • demonstrate the need for scholarship funds to facilitate their attendance
  • have been selected to present an abstract, paper or poster
  • are a member of an AAHPM committee or task force, or are a community chair.


Application will open in September 2017.
