Congratulations to the University of North Carolina HPM Fellowship Program for receiving the Ho/Chiang Foundation Fellowship Grant Award. The grant will support an adult HPM fellowship trainee participating in a pediatric track for the 2021-2022 academic year.

 

AAHPM recently learned that educational programs that include clinical images in PowerPoint or PDF formats, some of which have been aggregated by specialty societies, include patient specific information embedded within the images thought to have been anonymized. We encourage you to follow these best practices to ensure complete anonymization of any images used in your presentations.

 

The timeline for a longitudinal pathway for the Hospice and Palliative Medicine Continuing Certification Exam remains on track for 2022.  Learn more about the Longitudinal Assessment. Read the ABIM Blog and find out how to provide feedback as the pathway is being developed.
