Pathways to neuropalliative care practice

Article indépendant

HARRIGAN, Eileen | KIRSCH, Hannah L. | ADJEPONG, Kwame | CROOMS, Rita Caroline

As neuropalliative care is better recognized and more widely utilized, there is as great a need for clinicians trained in the field as there is for disease-specific symptom management, advance care planning, and end-of-life care. In this manuscript, we describe potential career trajectories in neuropalliative care. For clinicians, this includes educational and training opportunities within primary neuropalliative care (integrating palliative care principles into usual neurology practice), specialty neuropalliative care (completing a hospice and palliative medicine fellowship), and hospice. We also describe considerations for establishing new clinical neuropalliative practices and highlight neuropalliative education and research as key areas for advancing the field.
