Palliative Medicine was approved as a new subspecialty with multiple entry routes in October 2013. Information regarding the accreditation, credentialing and evaluation standards will be available on this site once the discipline specific documents have been finalized and approved by the Royal College. Please note that the Royal College already recognizes a one-year conjoint program in Palliative Medicine (with the College of Family Physicians of Canada) which will continue to exist at this time.
