The overarching goal of this new program is to enhance Dr. Schenker’s mentorship of students, fellows, and junior faculty pursuing geriatric palliative care research, with a particular focus on identifying unmet geriatric palliative care needs and developing and testing interventions to improve quality of life and goal-concordant care for older patients with advanced cancer. Dr. Schenker is actively seeking interested mentees to participate.
