The Palliative Care Program at the University of Rochester Medical Center is currently accepting applications for trainees interested in a one-year clinical adult Palliative Medicine Fellowship beginning July 1, 2010. The application deadline is September 1, 2009.
Our ACGME-accredited Fellowship includes multidisciplinary clinical training, course work, mentored teaching and research in a unique environment featuring innovative palliative care interventions, strong relationships with other disciplines within the University, and long-standing leadership and collaboration with community partners and institutions. The trainee will be responsible for care of inpatients and outpatients in varied settings, including a large academic teaching hospital with acute inpatient and ambulatory care services, hospice/home care, and nursing home comfort care. Our hospital environment includes the new Sussman Palliative Care Inpatient Unit, the only hospital-based, dedicated palliative care unit in the region.
An individualized learning plan provides varied opportunities within a curriculum comprising tutorials, seminars, teaching, and formal courses. The fellowship includes protected time to pursue a mentored research project, and provides one-on-one mentoring from nationally recognized leaders in the field. Preferred candidates will be Board Eligible or Board Certified by an ABMS-recognized board. Our program supports two fellows annually.
