Despite a smaller attendance in Indianapolis, PAHPM once again was well-represented with several panel discussion on opening day. These were well-attended, interest was great, and comments were overwhelmingly positive. Thank you for all of our panelists! It was also exciting to see all who were able to stop by our PAHPM Booth. This year we noted increased interest from practicing PAs, which was exciting to see as it is representative to the need for serious-illness care in all disciplines. We look forward to another year of growth, and story-telling in 2023 in Nashville at next years conference! |

Looking Ahead
PAHPM has a number of exciting things ahead of us in the coming months! -
THE EVA DIMITROV, MD & PAHPM STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP: Now Accepting Applications!
Our annual student scholarship application cycle is now open! For complete details on the scholarship and how to apply, check out the PAHPM Student Scholarship Info & Application page.
Please share this link with PA students interested in serious-illness care and your PA programs. PAHPM will be working on Title Change. Watch for coming announcements! PAHPM and PAs will be guest panelists at this years 2022 NHPCO Virtual Interdisciplinary Team Conference, this September. PAHPM members Judy Knudson and Jeff Myers will be joined by AAPA Regulatory and Legislative leads to help share how PAs can participate in hospice care, and where more work still needs to be done. This year's focus is on workforce issues, and we are prepared to share just how much a PA could add to a palliative and/or hospice interdisciplinary team!

Career and Job Resources We are launching an additional member benefit--best practices in career and jobs in palliative medicine and hospice care. We field questions regularly about institutions and employers not offering palliative jobs to PAs. As was said at the Annual Conference in Indianapolis, "that's hogwash!"
Check out our new members-only Careers Page for tips and tricks (make sure you login to access!). We plan to update this regularly. We also encourage you to post your question, comments and successes in the PAHPM Member Forum on this topic. We hope we can all learn from each other and continue to show that there are #PAsDoingPalliative!
