Description
In this episode we return for version 3.0 of the PalliEM Podcast. I am joined by Caroline Meehan, MD, and Alex Zirulnik, MD, MPH. They are the co-first authors and fellow collaborators in a recent study of the increasing numbers of emergency medicine physicians training in hospice and palliative medicine. We discuss the broader implications of this trend in both fields and reflect on our experiences in dual specialty practice.Article: https://www.jpsmjournal.com/article/S0885-3924(25)00816-4/abstractOuttro music: Synesthesia by AlaeusZirulnik A, Meehan C, Markwalter D, Gabbard J, Tilly A, Zimmerman P, Stafford J, Brooten J.
