Pediatric Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner Fellowship

PACT Nurse Practitioner Fellowship
PACT offers a full-time, 12-month, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Fellowship. The pediatric nurse practitioner fellow will train alongside two physician fellows and one social work fellow in this distinctive interprofessional program. The fellowship includes mentored clinical supervision on PACT across settings (inpatient, outpatient, community, bereavement) in the care of children with serious illness and their families in the domains of communication, pain and symptom management, psychosocial assessment and management, advance care planning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and various delivery models in palliative care.

This fellowship is designed to conform to the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association's Standards for Clinical Practicum in Palliative Nursing for Practicing Professional Nurses, Scope and Standards of Practice, and Competencies for Advanced Practice Hospice and Palliative Care Nurses.

What to expect
The pediatric and adult interprofessional palliative care fellows attend educational/training sessions together throughout the year. The learning activities (and supervision) are intertwined with the clinical work. The fellowship starts in July with intensive summer didactics that focus on the fundamentals of palliative care (e.g. a core curriculum of symptom management, communication, advance care planning, working on inter-professional team). In the fall, fellows have half-day didactic sessions once or twice per month in addition to clinical work/academic projects distributed across the fellowship year.

Qualified candidates will have:

  • Master of Science in Nursing from an accredited program.
  • Board certified or board eligible by January 31st, 2025: Pediatric Primary Care, Pediatric Acute Care or Family Nurse Practitioner
  • Licensed as an advanced practice registered nurse in Massachusetts prior to the start of the fellowship in July 2025, with the authority to prescribe controlled substances to all ages. Prior experience as a nurse or nurse practitioner preferred.
Interested candidates should submit application via Boston Children's Hospital as well as supplemental materials as described below:
  1. Resume/CV
  2. Unofficial Graduate School Transcript
  3. Personal statement describing your interest in palliative nursing, learning objectives for the fellowship year, and goals for advancing palliative care in the nursing field (500-word limit).
  4. Three letters of recommendation that include at least one clinical and one academic reference.
The application process opens November 1st, 2024 and closes January 3rd, 2025 for the upcoming academic year that begins July 2025.
