Clinician Educator Award

Funded by the Enriching the Future program

Nominations for the 2018 award will open in late summer.

This award supports the career development of promising pediatric hematology/oncology educators. Awardees will receive financial support for scholarship in health professions education, which may take the form of research, advanced training in education, or development of new educational resources. ASPHO will consider applications for funding to cover tuition for education training programs, support unique applicant-designed projects, pay for travel expenses, or fund other opportunities the applicant may identify as critical to his or her success as a health professions educator. One scholar will be funded up to $10,000.

Recipients of the award are required to produce a scholarly work product such as a curriculum, new educational resource, analysis of new data, or the like. All recipients are expected to summarize their accomplishments in the form of a poster presented at the ASPHO annual meeting within two years of receiving the award.
