American Friends of Georgia

AFG which helped to establish the first hospice in Georgia, will continue to support it by starting to fundrais for Mother Paraskeva's trip to San Diego in August 2011. Due to a grant program, only funds for airfare and accommodation are necessary for her multiple trips to the states over the next three years. While the International Palliative Medicine Fellowship Program is based on U.S. Hospice and Palliative Medicine competencies, it is customized to the international physicians. To qualify, physicians must be from healthcare systems within countries that have demonstrated a commitment to building palliative care capacity, to provide education in the core competencies of palliative care, and that have partnered with the IPM International Programs to accomplish these goals.
