Nominations are due on or before March 31 for the Dennis J. Thomson Compassionate Care Scholar Program for 2001. Nomination forms were distributed in the February issue of Professional Staff Update.
In honor of the late vice president of Public Affairs, the Compassionate Scholar Program aims to recognize providers from any discipline who embody the tenets of compassion in their daily work and to provide those Scholars with the opportunity to develop a project that will foster compassionate care in their clinical area.
Individuals must be nominated by leaders in their respective clinical areas. It is also required that the nominator be willing to provide the Scholar with the opportunity to develop and implement a project to enhance compassionate care among their colleagues. The award comes with a small honorarium that may be used for the project or the Scholar’s time.
