Hospice and Palliative Medicine is a subspecialty designed to recognize excellence among physicians who are specialists in the care of seriously ill and dying patients with life-limiting illness. The field of hospice and palliative medicine is based on expanding scientific knowledge about symptom control when cure is not possible, and appropriate care during the last months of life.
Initial certification information is for candidates who are certified in radiation oncology, but who have not yet certified in hospice and palliative medicine.
