Our team retreat at the New England Botanical Garden at Tower Hill exploring the psychological aspects of palliative care (May 2024.)

                        

Welcome to the Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship at the UMass Chan School of Medicine!

We are dedicated to training generations of palliative care experts to provide compassionate, evidence-based, interdisciplinary care for seriously ill patients and their families to improve quality of life and reduce physical, emotional and spiritual suffering.

                                                   Shawna Steadman, DNP, with an award for outstanding clinical service from our medical center. 



                                                                           Isabel Castro, DO, with her teaching award from medical students.  

 

We mentor fellows as servant leaders committed to social justice, teaching, quality improvement and research to grow the field of palliative care locally, regionally and nationally.
