Palliative Care and Hospice Interest Group

Palliative Care and Hospice Interest Group (PHIG) works to facilitate understanding of end-of-life care in diverse populations and encourage the development of essential skills for all physicians and medical students involved with patients and their loved ones at this critical juncture. We pursue these goals through lunchtime talks, seminars, shadowing opportunities, and events aimed at exploring holistic goal-centered care from diagnosis to end-of-life through patient stories, self-reflection, community engagement, and transformative communication. There is also the opportunity to work with faculty on palliative care education in the DGSOM curriculum.
