Faculty development

Fellows are included in faculty development opportunities from the DMC GME office.

Scholarly activity

All fellows participate in a quality improvement and/or research project during their training. Past projects have included book chapters, case presentations at AAHPM meeting and nursing education on opioid-induced constipation.
