The Firelands Regional Medical Center Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship is designed for candidates who have long-term career goals in end-of-life care or a desire to pursue end-of-life care as a specialty practice or as an adjunct to their career in primary care.
This program is open to anyone who has completed an ACGME-approved residency in family medicine, internal medicine, neurology or psychiatry and is designed around a competency based curriculum with these seven major areas:
- Develop expertise in palliative medicine
- Teach and model communication and collaboration skills
- Develop clinical scholarship
- Accrue palliative medicine skills in pain and symptom control
- Exemplify professionalism and compassion
- Model advocacy for patients and families
- Develop skills in systems-based palliative care practice
The program is a one-year fellowship leading to board eligibility in hospice and palliative medicine. The fellowship is sponsored and supported by Firelands Regional Medical Center and Stein Hospice Service, Inc. Fellows will receive broad, practical experience in hospice and palliative medicine through inpatient and outpatient rotations supervised by certified hospice and palliative medicine experts.
Firelands Regional Medical Center Hospice fellows are actively involved in the care and management of a significant number of patients throughout the year. Hospice and palliative care services are provided through the Stein Inpatient Unit, Firelands Regional Medical Center, and outpatient community settings.
Fellows work with members of the interdisciplinary team. They are responsible for consultation services that guide the direction of palliative care and participate in the interdisciplinary care of patients and families. In addition, fellows work in conjunction with staff attending and physicians in training in providing continuity of care for these patients.
