FELLOWSHIP IN PALLIATIVE
Overview:
A Palliative Care Fellowship is like a special training program for doctors who want to become experts in caring for people facing serious illnesses. Think of it as a journey where these doctors learn how to provide extra special support to patients and their families. In this fellowship, doctors, also known as fellows, go through an in-depth learning experience. They study not only how to treat physical symptoms but also how to understand and help with the emotional and social challenges that come with serious illnesses.
The emotional well-being of patients and their families is also a priority in palliative care. Fellows learn how to provide emotional support and create a caring environment. This involves addressing fears, concerns, and helping patients and families cope with the challenges they face.
