MED - 815 Clinical Palliative Care

The student will see patients referred to the palliative care service in the inpatient, outpatient and home setting. The service sees ~50 patients/month in the inpatient setting; 10-15/week in the outpatient clinic; and 2-3 patients/week at home. The student will be involved with a selected number of these patients. Palliative Medicine fellows provide teaching to the residents and medical students rotating on the service both formally during didactic sessions, as well as serving as role models during direct patient care interactions and family meetings. NOTE: Preference is given to M4 students. Elective
