An Integrative Palliative Care Side Gig [Side Ventures]

The Doctors On Social Media Podcast

Delia Chiaramonte, MD joins our Side Ventures SERIES to tell us about going all-in where it came to integrative palliative care.

We cover:

• how she ended up as the Associate Director of the Center for Integrative Medicine in Maryland
• the repercussions of her child's accident and how it's shaped her trajectory
• the story of her daughter's recovery
• why end-of-life patients are sometimes happier than others
• having learned what it's like to be both a caregiver and a physician taking care of this population
• struggling with defining her audience
• the value of authentic connections
• finding strength in ourselves through extreme hardships
• defining "toxic positivity"
• a psychological trick for making space for both the dark and light parts (the "poop and the flowers")
• learning about the needs of her target audience
