The National Consumer Scholars
Since 2016, the National Consumer Scholars program has served as a network, learning resource, and development resource for people with lived experiences involved with national complex care work.

Designed as a scholarship program to ensure people with lived experiences (PWLE) were included at our annual conference, the National Consumer Scholars program has expanded since 2016 to include peer-to-peer learning and leadership development activities that help PWLE build skills, network, and become sought-after experts in the national complex care community.
This brief provides an overview of our National Consumer Scholars program, the makeup and contribution of our Consumer Scholars, program activities and contributed works, and how interested participants can connect with the Camden Coalition team.
