The goal of the fellowship is to develop academic leaders in palliative medicine who have outstanding skills in clinical palliative medicine, research, medical education, and administration.

Features of Mayo Clinic's Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship include:

• A committed faculty made up of board-certified palliative medicine physicians.
• A rich clinical environment, as well as an outstanding academic infrastructure and opportunities to develop skills as an academician.
• The opportunity to care for your patients across the continuum of their disease. We offer ongoing care through:

  • A thriving outpatient clinic
  • Sherman Home, an inpatient hospice unit located on the Mayo Clinic campus
