Clinical Scholars Training Program
Following a competitive review process, the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (AAHPM or the Academy) announced its selection of training sites to host its Clinical Scholars Program beginning in 2008. This program is designed to provide a focused clinical experience in hospice and palliative medicine to physicians. The eight sites were chosen based on their outstanding reputation, superior service, and well regarded expertise in the field.
The Center for Palliative Care, a joint program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the Birmingham VMAC, was chosen as one of the eight training sites. More information about the program can be found at the AAHPM website: http://www.aahpm.org/education/clinicaltraining.html
