The CAMC Institute for Academic Medicine recently received initial accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education to offer fellowships in Surgical Critical Care and Hospice and Palliative Medicine.
Both programs are now recruiting participants to begin their training in August 2026.
“These new programs represent our continued graduate medical education growth in areas that benefit the community,” said Dink Jardine, MD, FACS, Chief Academic Officer, CAMC Institute for Academic Medicine. “We are shaping a future where our learners are equipped not only with clinical skills but with the adaptability, compassion and cultural awareness needed to thrive in diverse environments.”
“Hospice and palliative medicine are a growing need in a state with one of the oldest populations,” said Danica Stephens, MD, Program Director, Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship. “We are building a strong foundation for health care of future generations in southern West Virginia.”
This past summer, the CAMC Institute for Academic Medicine celebrated 76 residents graduating from various programs and welcomed 103 new residents, fellows and interns.
The institute now operates 23 graduate medical education, three pharmacy residency programs and a clinical psychology internship and two post-doctoral clinical psychology programs providing education experiences to more than 1,300 learners through 122 educational affiliated programs with West Virginia and regional colleges and universities. More than a third of the graduates from CAMC’s programs establish practice or continue training in West Virginia.
