ELIGIBILITY:

Scholarships are available to physicians who work in hospice and palliative medicine and who care for seriously ill patients. Eligible physicians must permanently reside in low and middle-income countries, as defined by the World Bank.

It is expected that the scholarship recipients will share the knowledge attained from the Annual Assembly to improve the palliative care offerings in their home country. Preference will be given to applicants who:

have not previously attended the Annual Assembly

are junior in their career with 2-10 years of experience primarily in palliative care

whose organizations are considered least able to afford this opportunity.

Recipients are required to obtain a valid (through April 2024) US visa by February 26, 2024. If a visa is not obtained by this date, then the International Physician scholarship may be revoked.

BENEFIT:

This scholarship program provides financial support (up to $5,000) to scholarship recipients to cover ordinary costs associated with attending the Annual Assembly registration* and travel-related expenses, including airfare, taxi fare, meals, and lodging. At the Annual Assembly, scholarship recipients will gain access to the latest clinical information and research updates in hospice and palliative care from leading experts in the field.
