Palliative Care Fellowship
Fellows assist in delivering comprehensive palliative care for patients ranging from newborns to frail elders with diagnoses including congenital malformations, inborn errors of metabolism, cancer, congestive heart failure, ALS, dementia, sepsis and multisystem organ failure. Clinical care takes place in an outpatient continuity clinic in the Norris Cotton Cancer Center, inpatient consultations, intensive and coronary care units, and hospice and home care settings.
Graduates of the Palliative Medicine Fellowship are board-eligible in Hospice and Palliative Medicine. Set in a rural county with a population of approximately 20,000, DHMC is a tertiary care referral center attracting patients from all over Vermont and New Hampshire, as well as western Massachusetts and parts of Maine.
