Abstract:
Predictive health services modeling signals a shortage of board-certified Hospice and Palliative Medicine (HPM) physicians. This article introduces the Community Hospice and Palliative Medicine (CHPM) Fellowship, an Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Advancing Innovation in Residency Education (AIRE) project designed to enable mid-career physicians (at least five years out from residency or fellowship) to achieve eligibility for board certification in HPM. From 2020 to 2023, 24 fellows have completed or are currently participating in the CHPM fellowship which is evaluated using the Kirkpatrick model. This program shows promise in addressing the impending HPM workforce shortage by allowing physicians to complete a fellowship in their local communities.
