The Developing Countries Scholarship Fund was established to provide access to quality education for physicians who reside in developing countries by helping them attend the AAHPM and HPNA Annual Assembly.
This scholarship program provides financial support (up to $5,000) to physicians to help them access the latest clinical information and research updates in hospice and palliative care from leading experts in the field.
This scholarship program is intended to facilitate Annual Assembly participation and cover ordinary costs associated with meeting registration, travel-related expenses (airfare, cab fare, meals), and lodging.
Field of Study: To help physicians access the latest clinical information and research updates in hospice and palliative care from leading experts in the field
Eligibility:
Scholarships are available to physicians who care for seriously ill patients and permanently reside and practice in a developing country. It is our hope that the scholarship recipients will share the knowledge gleaned from the Annual Assembly to improve the palliative care offerings in their home country. Preference will be given to applicants who are
- members of the AAHPM. Free online membership is available to physicians who reside in a developing nation as defined by the World Bank as “lower or middle income” & HINARI list of eligible countries
- have not previously attended the Annual Assembly
- are junior in their career, and
- whose organizations are considered least able to afford this opportunity.
