Experience in academic medicine preferred but not required. We are single trainee fellowship program affiliated with Altoona Family Physicians, which is a well–established 8–8–8 rurally oriented, full spectrum, university–affiliated program located in Central Pennsylvania. We also have an associated transitional year residency.
Our palliative team provides consultation and management services in the inpatient setting, in our outpatient palliative clinic, and at 3 local nursing homes. Our team is made up of 4 physicians, 4 Advanced Practice Providers, a fellow, a licensed social worker, a pharmacist, and a medical assistant/secretary. We also have a dedicated program director and coordinator who help oversee the fellowship. Additionally, two of our physicians are certified hospice medical directors who oversee two separate hospice agencies.
Our fellowship program has a strong history of successful completion, boasting 100% board exam pass rate. This is in part due to our excellent hands–on training which includes active management of a wide variety of diagnoses and acuity, along with an assortment of well formulated didactics. Also, given that we are the only fellowship at our hospital, the fellow has the opportunity to learn from a variety of subspecialists. Our sponsoring institution is UPMC Graduate Medical Education, with UPMC Altoona being our affiliated hospital. Additionally, we are closely integrated with the family medicine residency providing oversight of residents on their geriatric rotations, occasionally precepting residents in the family medicine office, and providing coverage to the inpatient medicine service while still seeing our own family medicine patients in the family medicine office.
