Internists who are interested in taking this year's hospice and palliative medicine exam but have not yet registered must do so by June 1.
After hospice and palliative medicine was recognized as a subspeciality in 2006, the American Board of Medical Specialties confirmed a five-year “grandfathering” period in which physicians with the required number of clinical hours may take the certification exam without first completing a 12-month fellowship program. The second exam within the grandfathering period is scheduled for Nov. 16, 2010, and late registration closes June 1. The third and final exam within the grandfathering period will take place in fall 2012.
More information on the exam is available online from the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine.
