Continuity
- Clinic: Fellows have 1 half day of outpatient clinic each week for the entire fellowship. During the palliative medicine clinic time, fellows will develop skills necessary to provide consultative and shared primary care for ambulatory patients with advanced complex illness and palliative needs. They will also learn to provide comprehensive assessment and manage physical, psychosocial, and spiritual problems in the ambulatory setting.
- Research: Fellows are given 4 weeks of research time, in addition to one half day of research per week during non-core rotation months (long term care, pediatrics, and oncology). During this time, fellows may work on research projects, journal clubs, case conferences, conference abstracts, and more. Fellows work alongside the program director, Dr. Politis, and research director, Dr. Jennifer Drost, to implement quality improvement projects or research specific topics related to the field.
Call Schedule
Fellows are on call one weekend per month. Fellows must also take call for two holidays.
