Bio: Vedavyas Gannamani (Ved) is originally from South India. He completed his internal medicine residency at Rutgers/Saint Peters University Hospital, New Brunswick, NJ. He later started working as a hospitalist at Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia. Ved’s field of interest is hematology-oncology, and he aspires to do a fellowship in this field in the future. Palliative care focuses on quality of life of the patients. It emphasizes the need to look patients beyond their disease. Ved believes doing the hospice and palliative care fellowship will help him acquire necessary skills to lead family meetings, manage symptoms in terminally ill patients and, consequently, help him provide better care for patients.
