Serious illness care demands more than diagnosis and treatment. It requires confident symptom control, honest communication, ethically sound decision-making, and the ability to support patients and families through the most vulnerable moments of life.
Principles of Palliative Care Medicine is a clinically grounded textbook for physicians, residents, fellows, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and healthcare professionals who care for people facing advanced, life-limiting, or complex chronic disease. Built around symptom management, communication, and ethical practice, it gives readers a structured approach to the real problems clinicians encounter at the bedside.

Inside this book, you will learn:
If you are preparing for advanced training, strengthening your clinical practice, or building a serious illness care reference shelf, this book offers a clear and compassionate foundation for palliative medicine.
- How to assess pain, dyspnea, nausea, delirium, fatigue, anorexia, depression, anxiety, and other distressing symptoms using mechanism-based clinical reasoning.
- You will gain practical guidance on opioid pharmacology, opioid rotation, adjuvant analgesics, non-pharmacologic strategies, palliative sedation, and symptom management in cancer, organ failure, neurologic disease, geriatric care, pediatric care, and the intensive care unit.
- The book also helps you develop the communication skills needed for prognosis discussions, goals-of-care conversations, family meetings, advance care planning, grief support, and conflict resolution.
- Dedicated chapters address ethical and legal questions involving decision-making capacity, surrogate decision-making, withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment, medical aid in dying, hospice transition, spiritual distress, and clinician wellbeing.
If you are preparing for advanced training, strengthening your clinical practice, or building a serious illness care reference shelf, this book offers a clear and compassionate foundation for palliative medicine.
