You will train under supervision and prepare for independent practice as a consultant. Trainees are required to undertake their training in more than one palliative care service under the direct supervision of different specialists to the satisfaction of the PMEC. The Advanced Training in Palliative Medicine Program is evaluated biennially by the Training Committee in Palliative Medicine (TCPM) to ensure that it’s in line with educational best practice. |
