The Program Director will be responsible for developing and maintaining the fellowship curriculum and evaluation system and ensuring the program meets all requirements as laid out by ACGME and Clinical Learning Environment Reviews.  The Director will guide strategic planning for the ongoing growth and development of the Fellowship program, in collaboration with the Departments of Medicine and Medical Education.   The Fellowship Director will devote 75% of their time to clinical effort in palliative medicine.

Situated on the Maine coast, Portland offers the best of urban sophistication combined with small-town friendliness.  The area provides four season recreational opportunities, such as skiing, hiking, sailing, and miles of beautiful beaches.  Just two hours north of Boston, this is an exceptionally diverse and vibrant community. 

The Division of Palliative Medicine is committed to creating an equitable, inclusive environment that is welcoming to diverse faculty.
