The Surgical Palliative Care Podcast
As one of just 80 U.S. surgeons currently board-certified in Hospice and Palliative Medicine, Dr. Red created The Surgical Palliative Care Podcast to showcase the founders and the leaders of the surgical palliative care movement. Tune in to hear more about the rich history of the profession, to stay up to date on the latest research and to learn how to integrate palliative care into your practice. Hosted by Dr. Red and a variety of co-hosts, The Surgical Palliative Care Podcast aims to educate, foster community and provide mentorship to all those interested in making certain that all surgical and trauma patients receive the excellent treatment they deserve.
Episode 25: Introducing the Surgical Palliative Care Society
Join host Dr. Red Hoffman as she interviews Drs. Buddy Marterre and Pringle Miller, whom - along with Red - founded the recently launched Surgical Palliative Care Society (SPCS), the first inter-disciplinary society dedicated to the integration of high-quality palliative medicine into the care of surgical patients. They discuss the origins of the society, review its mission and talk about how Buddy's work as a beekeeper inspired the non-hierarchical approach to the creation of our Council and Committees.
Membership in SPCS is open to all healthcare professionals involved in the care of surgical patients (including surgeons, physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, social workers, chaplains and respiratory therapists) as well as to students and trainees. Please visit the website and consider joining as an inaugural member (inaugural dues are half-price through the end of 2021.)
