Any heme/onc doctors out there who also manage palliative care for their patients? Are you able to manage palliation without a palliative care fellowship? Anyone do dual fellowships?
This is attractive to me, because it seems like it would be a great continuity of care. But I could also see this as being almost a "conflict" of goals, or unrealistic as far as time/clinic goes.
Some of the oncologists I've worked with do manage end of life care for their patients, but I'm in an academic setting. I'm curious if this is exceptional and whether it happens in the private care setting.
Thanks!!
