Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship Schedule

Typical Daily Schedule

While the fellow is expected to work hard when on duty, we value and encourage a healthy work/life balance. The fellow normally works varied but not excessive hours from Monday to Friday. The fellow is encouraged to enjoy the three weeks of vacation and many evenings and weekends off enjoying the region and/or traveling.
