HMS Faculty Seminars MGH Palliative Grand Rounds
HMS Palliative Care Faculty Seminars
For Palliative Care and Hospice Clinicians, this seminar offers opportunities for individuals interested in different facets of palliative care from across the HMS institutions (including the hospice community) to come together to discuss practice, research, educations, and contemporary ideas related to end-of-life care.
The Seminar is usually in a case-presentation format, and is a venue for mutual learning, collaborative projects, and the development of a community of palliative care experts. It provides a mix of highly interactive sessions with opportunities for sharing personal experiences with more traditional didactic learning.
