Post Seeking 2n year palliative care residency
Author: Mark_Lodico
Date: Feb 9, 2009 1:07 pm
Friends -- Currently, I am a first year full time resident at Alta Bates Summit medical center in Oakland, Ca. Most of my work has been on our oncology unit and I have also worked as a hospice volunteer in the past.
I have come to sense that I want very much to specialize in palliative care services as a chaplain. I have been looking online for second year chaplain residencies (few) and have found even fewer palliative care residencies.

I am asking this group for help in locating a second year chaplain residency in palliative care. Any leads?

With hope,

Mark Lodico

Hi Mark,

I am currently the Palliative Care Chaplain Fellow at the VA in Palo Alto. This is a wonderful opportunity to get the kind of experience you are describing, though it is not a 2nd year Residency. (I think one of the requirements is a couple of years experience after a Chaplain residency, and is for those who, like you, want to specialize in palliative care. )

Feel free to call me if you want to talk more, 650-493-5000 x 66833.

Hello Mark.
I am a CPE supervisor (who also works in Palliative Care) and had a former student participate in a 2nd year, PC residency at Emory a few years ago.
Other resources for you include two colleagues of mine with CPE programs who have an interest in Palliative Care Chaplaincy or are also working in Palliative Care--Tom Backer at the Nebraska Medical Center and Marc Giedinghagen at St. Luke's Hospital (in Kansas I believe). Janet
