Resident/Fellow (Physician) Education

A comprehensive palliative care rotation provides local physicians-in-training and fellows with an in-depth overview of the basic principles of hospice and palliative medicine. The rotation is tailored to meet the learning needs of residency specialties, such as family practice, internal medicine, psychiatry and pediatrics. Schedules include a formal group orientation, field visits with individual palliative care specialists (including a physician, RN case coordinator, social worker and chaplain), and completion of six interactive online modules (pain management, dyspnea, advance directives, dementia and delirium, cultural differences, and hospice care).
