A special report by 10 physicians and nurses of the inaugural cohort of our Sojourns Scholar Leadership Program was accepted and published in the recent issue of Journal of Palliative Medicine. For non-subscribers, the Journal is generously providing free access through May 24 to the report, “The Cambia Sojourns Scholars Leadership Program: Project Summaries from the Inaugural Scholar Cohort.”
“Having the esteemed Journal of Palliative Medicine publish our scholars’ report exemplifies the purpose and spirit of our Sojourns Scholar Leadership Program, which focuses on strengthening budding leaders’ palliative-care skills and helping them implement innovative projects that will advance the field,” said Peggy Maguire, president and board chair, Cambia Health Foundation. “With mentoring from a renowned group of Advisory Committee members, our Scholars are doing ground-breaking work in palliative care and policy. We are proud of them and humbled by their remarkable talent and dedication to excellence in their daily work to provide an extra layer of support to people and families facing serious illness.”
Cambia Health Foundation created the Sojourns Scholar Leadership Program to help develop new leaders to influence the research, program and policy development of the palliative-care field, and to advance palliative care awareness, quality and access for more Americans.
"Palliative care has gained traction as a vitally important practice area that could touch the lives of every one of us, either as patients or as caregivers,” said Maguire.
