Palliative Care APRN Fellow

NP Trainee

The Mass General Hospital Division of Palliative Care & Geriatric Medicine is seeking a Nurse Practitioner to join the Harvard Interprofessional Palliative Care Fellowship Program. The Advanced Practice Registered Nurse fellowship in palliative care is part of the Harvard Interprofessional Palliative Care Fellowship program. It is an immersive, year-long, interprofessional training program that aims to equip the fellow with advanced skills in all dimensions of palliative care practice, from advanced communication skills to complex symptom management and psychosocial support. The fellow trains alongside physicians, other nurse practitioners, pharmacy and social work fellows. The trainee gains skills in comprehensive palliative care assessment of patients with chronic life-limiting illness, focused physical examination, and formulation of plans to address symptoms, psychosocial distress and promote goal-concordant care. Clinical work is directly supervised by attending physicians, staff nurse practitioners and other members of the interprofessional palliative care team. The trainee also participates in academic work, focused on resilience, leadership, research and education. By the end of the fellowship year, the fellow will have gained the skills to independently practice, providing high level palliative care to patients with complex disease and will have the tools to engage in scholarship, research and other academic pursuits. The Mass General Hospital Division of Palliative Care & Geriatric Medicine is committed to delivering the highest quality care to our patients and their families in a respectful, efficient, and safe environment; to communicate openly and directly; and to recognize and value the contributions of every individual. We are dedicated to advancing the diagnosis and treatment of disease through research and education. We strive for innovation, work as a team, and lead by example.
