Interesting lecture from our social worker Lauren Yuill today on Grief & Bereavement - it's important to identify the distinctions in the loss itself! #grief #socialwork #PalliativeCare

[Columbia and Cornell HPM Fellowship at NYP @NYPHPMfellow]

Meet our fellows - Dr. Orel Shuker

Dr. Shuker has been inspired to advocate for the equitable care of patients and families who are facing the challenges of serious illness, and to work on improving the health care system to fully meet their needs.

[Columbia Palliative Care @PallCareCUIMC]

We are so excited for the year ahead, providing excellent palliative care and having some fun along the way with this stellar group.

June is also the month of our annual team retreat- this year held at the @nybg #Kusama exhibit. It was a beautiful day to recharge and connect.

[Columbia Palliative Care @PallCareCUIMC]

June is one of our favorite months of the academic year. We have had so much fun celebrating the growth and impact of our amazing graduating fellows! #hpm @NYPHPMfellow

[Columbia and Cornell HPM Fellowship at NYP @NYPHPMfellow]

Our wonderful fellow Dr. Manuel Moya taking a self-care moment with some faculty and staff from the Weill Cornell Outpatient Palliative Care program! Grateful for this time together.

[Shunichi Nakagawa @snakagawa_md]

This is not what I received from my resident.

Our former fellow (now attending) received this from her resident.

She texted me saying "this made my day".

And that made our day.

@PallCareCUIMC @NYPHPMfellow @CraigBlinderman

[Columbia Palliative Care @PallCareCUIMC]

Amazing work by our Director of Inpatient Palliative Care Services!

[Shunichi Nakagawa @snakagawa_md]

Gave a lecture "Breaking Bad News" in Japanese, at Kobe City Medical Center General Hospital (the hospital with the best ER in Japan).

Spoke about SPIKES/NURSE, for 90min, towards 200+ participants.

[Columbia Palliative Care @PallCareCUIMC]

“It’s a warm, fun environment to be around. I rotated and collaborated with the @PallCareCUIMC team as a resident and fellow, and knew they were my people.” And we’re lucky to have you, @DShalevMD!

[Columbia Palliative Care @PallCareCUIMC]

As we continue to celebrate our fellows, let’s find out why @DShalevMD chose Columbia and Cornell for his #HPM fellowship:

[Columbia Palliative Care @PallCareCUIMC]

“Columbia and Cornell are my homes! I did medical school at Weill Cornell and my residency in psychiatry and CL psych fellowship @Columbia. I love working in a place where everyone is doing such incredible work advancing teaching, clinical care, and research.
