Abstract

•Recognize innovative educational approaches to end-of-life care directed by physicians, nurses, and social workers.Examine shared opportunities to advance the field of palliative care through education and mentoring junior leaders. The Project on Death in America (PDIA) Awards recognize leaders who have made outstanding contributions to the field of hospice and palliative care. The awards are made possible through the generosity of a grant from the Open Society Institute’s Project on Death in America. Over the course of 9 years, from 1994 to 2003, the PDIA created funding initiatives in professional and public education, the arts, research, clinical care, and public policy that transformed care for patients living with serious illnesses in the United States. Four PDIA Awards will be presented: the AAHPM PDIA Palliative Medicine National Leadership Award, the AAHPM PDIA Palliative Medicine Community Leadership Award, the HPNF PDIA Nursing Leadership Award in Palliative Care, and the SWPHN PDIA Career Achievement Award. Award recipients will participate in panel presentations on topics such as career trajectory, lessons learned, and take-away “pearls” for the attendees.
