Career impact of palliative care fellowship training for nurse practitioners
Journal of Palliative Medicine; by Hilary Carroll McGuire, Jennifer Costa, Barbara Reville; 7/8/24 online ahead of print
Postgraduate fellowship training for nurse practitioners (NP) in palliative care can ameliorate workforce shortages; however, currently there are few NP fellowships and little evidence about outcomes, such as retention in hospice and palliative nursing, job satisfaction, or professional contributions. Conclusions: NP palliative care fellowship alumni reported multiple career benefits including job satisfaction, professional accomplishment, and ongoing employment at their training institutions.
