Training program cost estimate
Variables

- Mentorships cost the student $100 per day and many students choose to do 2 day mentorships. (PHCP subsidizes these by paying the mentor an additional $75 per day)
- Travel costs vary widely depending on your location and that of your mentors, your mode of transportation, lodging, etc. Students are required to work with a number of different mentors who are located throughout the US and Canada, so travel will be required to complete the training program.
- Some mentors are willing to travel to you.
- If you choose to attend clinics or other non-required events for elective credits, you are responsible for those fees and the travel costs.
