| Description | The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix Hospice and Palliative Fellowship program utilizes the facilities of Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix, Phoenix VA Medical Center and Phoenix Children’s Hospital. It is a one year, multidisciplinary program accepting up to two fellows each year. The field of Hospice and Palliative Care, although new as a specialty, is in reality focused on the reason most of us entered the medical profession — the relief of suffering and improvement in quality of life for our patients. Fellows will work with an interdisciplinary team of palliative care professionals in the inpatient, outpatient, long-term care and hospice settings. They will see patients as consultants in the inpatient setting, following them longitudinally from intensive care through hospitalization to outpatient follow up, long-term care or hospice. In addition to clinical teaching, there are weekly didactic sessions and time for research in an area of the fellow’s interest. |
