The inpatient team consists of a consult team that serves patients throughout the 914 licensed beds. The average number of inpatients seen by the SPC consult team is about 185 per month, and consults are received from a wide variety of medical specialties caring for hospitalized patients.
Our team is integrated into the care of advanced heart failure patients being evaluated for surgical advanced heart failure therapies and we collaborate closely with all intensive care teams (surgical, medical, neurological). Our fellowship program and institution also has both a strong oncology and transplant presence, with Texas Oncology originating on our campus and one of the most robust and advanced transplant programs in the nation (bone marrow, heart, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas, and uterus).
Fellows will round with board-certified/board-eligible, fellowship trained palliative medicine faculty on both the primary service and consult service during their training and have opportunities to learn alongside medical students, residents and fellows rotating with the team. Our unique "fellows as teachers" program equips fellows to develop and hone skills as early clinician-educators.
The multidisciplinary professionals composing the SPC team include: chaplains, licensed clinical social workers, child life specialists and advanced practice professionals (APPs, to include both APRNs and PAs).
