Congratulations to our Fall 2021 DASHE recipients.  Health Professions Educators are often lacking resources needed to advance educational research and scholarship. In recognition of this challenge, Duke AHEAD offers the Duke AHEAD Supports Health Professions Educators (DASHE) program. DASHE Vouchers are designed to be used in a wide variety of ways by connecting our educators with high quality academic services that facilitate their engagement in scholarly work.  This fall, we were privileged to award over $20,000 in services to 9 of our members.
