“…Current practice setting, practice models and pathways to fellowship were described in a previous analysis. 11 The Value of Hospice and Palliative Medicine Training to the Surgeon Several themes emerged when participants were asked to reflect on the transformative value of HPM training to their medical and surgical practice. These included: (1) Learning to apply shared decision making and goal-concordant care to surgical decision making, (2) Decreasing personal bias in medical decision making, and (3) Enabling wellness in surgeons.…”

Objective: Surgeons comprise 2% of HPM-trained physicians. Little is known about the perceived value of HPM training to the surgeon or medical community. We aim to demonstrate the value of HPM fellowship training to surgeons and surgical practice from the point of view of HPM fellowship trained surgeons. Design: A qualitative analysis was performed using semi-structured zoom interviews that elicited the lived experiences of HPM trained surgeons. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Setting: Researchers were from the University of Kansas School of Medicine and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Participants were trained and worked across the United States in a variety of settings. Participants: Eligibility included training in general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, or affiliated subspecialties and completion of a 1-year HPM fellowship. Results: 17 interviews were performed. Several themes emerged regarding the transformative value of HPM training to their medical and surgical practice: (1) Learning to apply shared decision making and goal-concordant care to surgical decision making, and (2) Decreasing personal bias in medical decision making, and (3) Enabling wellness in surgeons. Two themes emerged regarding the perceived value to both the surgical community and the HPM community: (1) Value of the HPM Fellowship Trained Surgeon to the Surgical Community, and (2) Value of the HPM Fellowship Trained Surgeon to the HPM Community. All study participants valued their HPM training and felt highly valued by the healthcare team. Conclusion: HPM trained surgeons are highly valued on the healthcare team and improve patient-centered surgical care.

“…The participants reporting completing hospice and palliative medicine fellowship at different points in their career-immediately after residency, after completing a surgical fellowship, and after years of working in practice. The surgeons in the study were highly satisfied with their training experience and felt that it was feasible for surgeons to complete HPM fellowship (54). Gynecologic oncology and HPM leaders must collaborate to grow the surgical palliative care work force.…”

Background and Objective: Several professional societies have recommended incorporating palliative care into routine oncology care, yet palliative care remains underutilized among women with gynecologic cancers. This narrative review highlights current evidence regarding utilization of palliative care in gynecologic oncology care. Additionally, the authors offer recommendations to increase early integration and utilization of palliative care services, improve education for current and future gynecologic oncology providers, and expand the palliative care workforce. Methods:The authors reviewed studies of palliative care interventions in oncology settings, with an emphasis on studies that included women with gynecologic malignancies. A panel of author/experts were gathered for a semi-structured interview to discuss the future of palliative care in gynecologic cancer care.The interview was recorded and reviewed to highlight themes.

“…Despite the evolution of palliative medicine from surgical care, very few board-certified hospice and palliative medicine (HPM) physicians in the US are surgeons. Multiple studies 1,2 have found that surgical residents desire more formalized training in palliative care skills and represent a growing subset of trainees applying for HPM fellowships. This guide serves to answer frequently asked questions (FAQs) and share perspectives on integrating HPM training into surgical residency.…”
