Fellow Perspective

Ronald Maggiore, MD

What is a program highlight for you?

I liked the ability to do home visits as part of our continuity clinics.  I also loved the inpatient palliative care unit – an integral part of our training in managing end-of-life issues with patients and their loved ones.
