Description

Hosted by integrative palliative medicine physician, Dr. Delia Chiaramonte, The Integrative Palliative Podcast helps physicians and clinicians guide families facing serious illness to physical and emotional wellbeing. Listeners will find insights, skills and knowledge in evidence-supported integrative symptom management, as well as attention to their own self-care, because you can't pour from an empty cup! 

Everyone  who cares for seriously ill people will find something for themselves and their patients in this podcast.  It is targeted not only to those who practice palliative care, but also to physicians and clinicians in  oncology, radiation oncology, neurology, geriatrics, rheumatology, hospital medicine, intensive care, and more.

While the podcast is targeted to those who care for patients and clients, family caregivers will find many pearls to help them care for their ill or aging and loved one, while also caring for themself. All are welcome! 

Visit The Institute for Integrative Palliative Medicine for more information on clinician and caregiver trainings and to book Dr. Chiaramonte as a speaker www.integrativepalliative.com
