Pediatric Palliative Care Fellowship

PACT is offering a full-time, one-year social work fellowship.

The fellow will have the opportunity to work with patients and their families, as well as develop and lead groups. There will be opportunities to gain knowledge and experience with related community resources, hospice and bereavement services.

PACT provides inpatient and outpatient patient care and care in the community. The fellow functions as part of a multi-disciplinary team and is responsible for consultation with other medical providers.

Fellows receive two hours of supervision per week. The fellow will have the opportunity to attend PACT educational rounds featuring multi-disciplinary experts in the field of Pediatric Palliative Care, as well as other seminars offered at both Boston Children's Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

There are also weekly PACT clinical rounds at which time the core team is able to plan and reflect with the larger team about patient care. All social work fellows participate in didactic seminars and a fellows discussion group.

This is an opportunity to work with one of the first pediatric palliative care teams in the country. Compensation is full-time salary plus benefits.
