Are We Growing Leaders? Exploring Leadership Training in Hospice and Palliative Medicine (HPM) Fellowship
A study published in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management explored the current state of leadership training in hospice and palliative medicine (HPM) fellowships. Through a national survey of fellowship program directors, the authors found that while day-to-day leadership skills are widely considered essential, many programs lack structured curricula to teach them. The authors recommend that a set of core leadership competencies are developed to guide consistent, comprehensive training across HPM fellowships.
