Abstract
The pediatric hospice and palliative medicine (pHPM) workforce caring for an increasing population of medically fragile children is small due to a lack of both pHPM training opportunities and pediatric palliative care (PPC) community resources.1–10 Of the 159 HPM fellowship programs in the U.S., only 13 are dedicated pHPM programs with 17 training spots annually.11,12 A majority of pHPM specialists go on to practice within hospital-based programs, most of which are located in urban areas and prioritize on-site consultation.
