Title(s) |
Volunteer Clinical Assistant Professor, Internal Medicine |
| Early interest in Geriatrics led to a firm foundation in Palliative
Medicine, which was fostered during Dr. Sinclair’s Internal
Medicine Residency. A month rotation during his second year
of residency encouraged the realization that one could practice
Palliative Medicine as a career. Having finished his palliative
medicine fellowship, Dr. Sinclair has a great interest in education
and making a proper balance between service and education. He
has been the Palliative Medicine Fellowship Director at Kansas City
Hospice & Palliative Care for 2 years, drawing on his own fellowship
experiences and the many national and regional talks on end-of-life
issues he gives. Dr. Sinclair is also a graduate of the Harvard
Palliative Care in Education and Practice Program and is the past
chair of the Professionals-in-Training Special Interest Group for
the AAHPM. He keeps up to date on current literature in the
hospice and palliative medicine field as co-editor of Pallimed,
a blog focusing on end-of-life and education. |
