Clinical training appears to be both the focus and strength of most palliative care fellowships surveyed.
Our study therefore suggests that training in palliative care be incorporated into fellowship program curricula.
Palliative medicine fellowship programs generally agree on the content of training on spirituality, but have not incorporated robust educational and evaluation methods to ensure that fellows have obtained the desired attitudes, knowledge, and skills to meet the Initial Voluntary Program Standards for Residency Education in Palliative Medicine of the American Board of Hospice and Palliative Medicine.
Referral of patients to interdisciplinary palliative care teams is optimal, and services may complement existing programs.
