4) Eligibility for a travel grant to learn or teach. The IAHPC awards several Traveling Scholarships each year, enabling successful applicants to attend international conferences that increase practical knowledge as well as foster important peer relationships. Applications are now being accepted for 10 Traveling Scholarships to attend the European Association for Palliative Care congress being held in Berlin, Germany, 23-25 May 2019.
The Traveling Fellowships Program has provided financial assistance to many palliative care professionals who accepted invitations to teach in countries such as Africa, Asia, Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. It is an ongoing program; applicants are asked to apply at least three months before they expect to travel.
5) Furthermore, membership allows you to support and participate in IAHPC’s global aims. You can take part in:
- advocacy campaigns with WHO, INCB and other UN organizations, for the recognition of palliative care and pain treatment as a component of the right to health and its inclusion in international and national health care policies and documents
- implementing an Essential Package for Palliative Care, as recommended by the Lancet Commission on Global Access to Palliative Care and Pain Control
- global research projects
Membership is free for undergraduates and medical students, as is membership for post-graduate students in palliative care programs. Sign up now!
