This study describes the experience of the early cohort of mid-career fellows.Methods:
Fellows at the seven sites were surveyed about their perceptions of the program and their confidence in subspecialty skills.Results:
Surveys were sent to 13 fellows and completed by 8. All reported positive experiences with curricula, direct observation, feedback, and cross-site case reviews. Most responses were positive regarding individualized learning plans and case-stimulated reviews. Respondents reported high confidence in 9 of the 13 specialty-specific skills, including communication, caring for dying patients, and pain management. They reported less confidence with psychological and non-pain symptoms, spirituality, and prognostication. Fewer than half indicated that the process for graduation was clear.Conclusion:
Physicians in the competency-based HPM fellowship report a positive experience and high confidence in subspecialty skills.
