The Department of Pediatrics offers a two-year fellowship in Pediatric Palliative Care. Our program is designed to prepare the fellow for a career in the practice of palliative care pediatrics. Our focus is on the care of children living with life-threatening conditions other than cancer, such as cystic fibrosis, HIV-related illness and severe neurological disease. The fellowship is under the direction of Dr. Jayne Rivas, Chairperson of the Department, and Dr. Gordon Hutcheon, Medical Director of the Center for Pediatric Care at the New York Foundling Hospital. The program has a strong clinical orientation, although there is ample time for the pursuit of clinical research. Applicants must be board certified or eligible in pediatrics.
