Today we join you from beautiful Banff, Alberta, Canada at the National Palliative Care Research Center (NPCRC) annual Kathleen Foley retreat.  This meeting was bittersweet.  I\u2019ve been fortunate to attend every meeting in one capacity or another since 2006.  The NPCRC made an enormous impact  on the growth and capacity for palliative care research nationally.  Personally, NPCRC funding was essential support as I was a new faculty member and had not yet secured longer term career development funding. More than anything, though, I will miss the NPCRC community.  I treasure those meals, hikes, sing-alongs with others dedicated to improving care of people with serious illness through research. On today\u2019s podcast, we invited Dio Kavalieratos, Prasanna Ananth, and Alexi Wright to join us to talk about three articles that spoke to them.  For each I leave you with a teaser of a hard question that was raised that we couldn\u2019t really answer. Prasanna chose an article by Abby Rosenberg about being fired in palliative care. We talked about why palliative care clinicians get fired, with Prasanna, a pediatric oncologist, raising the issue that it\u2019s more problematic when you\u2019re the oncologist providing primary palliative care and you get fired than if the consultant specialty palliative care provider is fired. Dio chose an article about the economic benefits of palliative care internationally, a call to action.  We talked about the needs of palliative care internationally, and Alexi raised the question: should the highest standard of palliative care (e.g. in the US) apply to palliative care in every country, a la the Partners in Health model pioneered by the late Paul Farmer? Or should we \u201csettle\u201d for access to affordable opioids? Alexi chose an article about cancer care in prison. Alexi used it as a springboard to talk about other populations at compounded risk for poorer care in the current political environment. We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did, dear listeners.  We\u2019re always trying to improve, and welcome your suggestions for how to improve upon this new \u201clive\u201d format.  So far we\u2019ve heard we need to be better at summarizing the articles for the audience\/listeners, and finding ways to involve our live audience to a greater extent than the occasional question. Please let us know if you have other suggestions! Final note - check out the wonderful video NPCRC created about their impact on the field of palliative care (Eric and I were filmed recording GeriPal). -Alex Smith   This episode of the GeriPal Podcast is sponsored by UCSF\u2019s Division of Palliative Medicine, an amazing group doing world class palliative care.  They are looking for physician faculty to join them in the inpatient and outpatient setting.  To learn more about job opportunities, please click here: https:\/\/aprecruit.ucsf.edu\/apply\/JPF05811 ","author_name":"GeriPal - A Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/www.geripal.org","html":"
