Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship

Explore the Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship at Cedars-Sinai


Cedars-Sinai has long-standing relationships with local area hospitals and community hospice partners, ensuring an optimally diversified educational experience for fellows. Additionally, in partnership with one of these community hospices, the Cedars-Sinai Supportive Care Medicine team has developed a robust general inpatient level of hospice care.

Fellows will spend most of their clinical time on the inpatient consultation service at Cedars-Sinai and their remaining time on rotations in oncology, interventional pain, long-term care and adult and pediatric community hospices. Fellows will have four weeks of dedicated research time to develop and complete a scholarly or quality improvement project. The fellow continuity clinic is designed to provide experience in both palliative care and cancer survivorship and rehabilitation. The program also offers robust opportunities in electives.
