The division leads Dell Med’s Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship, which offers physicians in training a unique, longitudinal curriculum with dedicated time focused on health equity, leadership and well-being. Throughout their training, fellows in the program work in a variety of health systems and care settings with diverse patient populations, and they graduate fully prepared to practice in inpatient, outpatient, hospice and palliative care settings. Additionally, fellows in the program supplement their clinical knowledge by engaging in a yearlong board-focused didactic curriculum and accessing board review materials.
