The Cambia Sojourns Scholars Leadership Program: Project Summaries from the Inaugural Scholar Cohort.

BACKGROUND As palliative care grows and evolves, robust programs to train and develop the next generation of leaders are needed. Continued integration of palliative care into the fabric of usual health care requires leaders who are prepared to develop novel programs, think creatively about integration into the current health care environment, and focus on sustainability of efforts. Such leadership development initiatives must prepare leaders in clinical, research, and education realms to ensure that palliative care matures and evolves in diverse ways. METHODS The Cambia Health Foundation designed the Sojourns Scholar Leadership Program to facilitate leadership development among budding palliative care leaders. RESULTS The background, aims, and results to date of each of the projects from the scholars of the inaugural cohort are presented.
