ABOUT THE

JACK & MIRIAM SHENKMAN

CAREGIVING FELLOWSHIP TEAM

The Jack & Miriam Shenkman Caregiving

Fellowship Team is a skill building program to

train and develop the best and the brightest

in end-of-life care. A Shenkman Fellow will

be known as a leader in end-of-life care, both

locally and throughout the nation.

Shenkman Fellows will be top-notch profes-

sionals who dedicate their careers to end-of-

life care for patients and their loved ones. This

distinction will be promoted as a badge of

honor — an indication that recipients have

undergone the most rigorous and wide-ranging

training and professional development avail-

able, and that they are on the cutting edge of

their field. For each of the next ten years a new

designee will be chosen as a Shenkman Fellow.
