To accomplish these goals, I spent three weeks shadowing the inpatient palliative care unit team at Jacobs Medical Center, two weeks shadowing the palliative psychiatrist at Jacobs, and three weeks shadowing the inpatient palliative care consult team, an outpatient palliative care physician, the palliative care chaplain, and a palliative care home support nurse at Rady
