About the Presentation:

Hospitalists are increasingly becoming the dominant providers of care for hospitalized patients across the country, which means that they are also the physicians caring for the people who need palliative care. By joining a palliative care team, hospitalists benefit from great job diversity and high satisfaction. Palliative care teams can also find hospitalists willing partners to engage in a consulting relationship.

Linking hospitalists and palliative care is a win-win for both fields. Whether you are a hospitalist interested in becoming part of a palliative care team, or you are part of a palliative care team interested in consulting to hospitalists, this audio conference is for you.
