Context
There are no data on the motives or characteristics of physicians choosing fellowship training in Hospice and Palliative Medicine (HPM).
Objectives
To understand more about the residents who choose HPM and what leads them to this decision.
Conclusion
Negative experiences with end-of-life care in residency, particularly in the intensive care unit, continue to be a factor in selection of HPM as a specialty. Many residents make their decision to enter the field and apply during Postgraduate Year 3. Most received negative comments about the choice. Fellows require a broad range of experience when selecting a fellowship program.
