Psychooncology and Palliative Medicine Research Program
Description
The Psychooncology and Palliative Medicine Program was initiated in 2006 to establish a clinical translational research program investigating the overlap of psychological and physical symptoms for patients living with advanced disease. Our research program has evolved to include studies on patient-physician-family communication at the end of life as well as cutting edge psychological and physical symptom management interventions.
