Overview

Hospice and palliative care medicine is a rapidly growing field to meet the needs of patients and their families that have life-limiting illnesses. Fellows will rotate through inpatient consult services at our teaching hospital, a freestanding hospice house and area nursing homes; they will see outpatients in the clinic and in the home setting with our community hospice partner. We are based at Grand Strand Medical Center (GSMC) in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
