Curriculum

Complete Your Hospice & Palliative Medicine Fellowship in just one year!

Our Hospice and Palliative Medicine curriculum places a strong emphasis on team-based care, which includes direct involvement in systems-based care through multidisciplinary rounds and interaction with case management on all rotations.

Fellows receive training at a dedicated hospice inpatient unit and outpatient hospice services, including skilled nursing facility visits, inpatient consult service for our community hospital, and outpatient palliative and supportive care clinic.

The curriculum follows a block schedule with required and elective rotations. The educational experience is enhanced by lectures, journal clubs, research presentations and continuing medical education symposiums.
