The Goldman-Berland Lecturer in Palliative Medicine is a clinical practitioner noted for excellence in palliative and end-of-life care invited by the center for two-days dedicated to educating physicians and internal medicine residents about caring for patients with life-threatening illness and other aspects of palliative medicine. The lectureship is named for two Providence physicians, deceased oncologist Robert Goldman, and retired internist John Berland, both role models for exemplary end-of-life care.
