Sojourns Scholar Leadership Program
Identifying, cultivating and advancing the next generation of palliative care leaders.

The program seeks to include physicians, nurses, social workers, physician assistants, chaplains, psychologists, pharmacists and other emerging health system leaders by investing in their professional development. Sojourns Scholars receive $180,000 in funding ($90,000 per year over a two-year grant) to carry out an innovative and impactful project in the field of palliative care and execute a leadership development plan designed to support the individual's growth
as a national leader in the field.
