The Lillian and Benjamin Hertzberg Palliative Care Institute

One of the most important objectives of the Hertzberg Palliative Care Institute is the training of new physicians. The education of students, house staff, and fellows on the core precepts of palliative medicine is accomplished through bedside teaching, rotations on the clinical service, and a case-based lecture series. A one month clinical palliative care rotation is a requirement for all hematology-oncology and geriatric fellows. Additionally, elective rotations are offered for medical students, house staff, and nurse practitioners.
