Core faculty of the Palliative Care Fellowship are involved in the majority of fellow training, are board-certified in Hospice and Palliative Medicine, and represent different professions.
We are fortunate to have strong institutional support and have a spectrum of associated faculty from within our own interprofessional palliative care team or other primary disciplines that help enrich the fellowship experience by mentoring electives or participating in didactic sessions.
