ACDIS update: Scholarship applications are open, learn about the Professional Development award

CDI Strategies - Volume 18, Issue 49

Looking for ways to further your CDI career? Whether you are a CDI novice or a seasoned professional in the field, if you are passionate about CDI, love to learn, and want to share your knowledge with others, the ACDIS CDI Scholarship Program exists to help those who are in need of financial support to do so!

The 2024/2025 application period for the annual program is currently open until Friday, November 15, and we need the CDI community’s help to spread the word! We ask that everyone please share the news with your department, your networking group, and your CDI friends so those who are in need of this opportunity are made aware. Click here to learn more or share this link with others: https://acdis.org/acdis-cdi-scholarship.

We also wanted to highlight a little more information about the second of the four scholarships offered this year! Our second award, the Professional Development Scholarship, grants the recipient Registration to an online CDI Boot Camp of their choice. This scholarship is a great opportunity for CDI professionals who may feel confident in the basics but have had little opportunity or financial support to further their education in any of the niche, specialized topics of CDI.

Applicants must be active in the CDI field, working in the profession. They must be able to demonstrate that fact with a note from their manager or supervisor verifying employment (including the organization name and dates of employment), as well as attach a letter of recommendation in the application.

Some of the CDI Boot Camps that recipients have chosen in the past include:

If you are looking to further your knowledge in the CDI field or know someone who is, the Professional Development Scholarship may be just the right opportunity!

And don’t forget about our other scholarship opportunities:

  • Introduction to CDI Scholarship: A one-year ACDIS membership + enrollment in the ACDIS CDI Apprenticeship program
  • Outpatient CDI or Physician Advisor Scholarship: Registration to the ACDIS Symposium: Outpatient CDI or Physician Advisor Forum
