VNSNY Hospice Fellowship Program Educates Area Physicians on End-of-Life Care

September 6, 2017

In mid-summer, the 2017-2018 cohort of VNSNY Hospice and Palliative Care’s Physician Fellowship gathered for Orientation Day. Now in its 13th year of operation, this year’s Fellowship Training Program is made up of 45 Fellows from eight area medical centers. To get a direct, hands-on experience, the Fellows are embedded in designated hospice teams. Their rotations last for up to three months, giving the Fellows a unique, humanistic experience in providing skilled and compassionate end-of-life care. In addition to the Fellows, the VNSNY Hospice program also works with up to 15 Family Medicine Residents from Mount Sinai Health System throughout the academic year and up to 15 students from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons each fall.
