She currently works as Attending Physician at the Institut Catal\u00e0 d&#8217; Oncologia (ICO) in L&#8217; Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona. Dr. Calsina has always had the desire to treat the &#8216;whole&#8217; patient rather than just the disease. This desire led her to seek out the fellowship program. Agn\u00e8s is very interested in sharing her knowledge of palliative medicine with peers, residents, patients and families. She is particularly interested in and sensitive to the death and dying experience in different cultures. She has worked with Consorci Sanitari Parc Taul\u00ed, Sabadell. She is also collaborating in a research project called NECPAL that is studying the needs of patients who require palliative support and who are admitted in a Tertiary Hospital.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Accomplishments:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Member of SCMFIC (Catalan Society of Family and Community Medicine)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Education \/ Honors:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Masters in Palliative Medicine, Universitat de Barcelona, Anticipated graduation June 2012<\/li>\n<li>International Palliative Medicine Fellowship Program, Institute for Palliative Medicine at San Diego Hospice, June 2009 \u2013 December 2011<\/li>\n<li>Presentation of the manuscript, &#8220;Interference in sleep in patients with pain in primary health care,&#8221; for research proficiency, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, November 2009<\/li>\n<li>Master&#8217;s Degree in Primary Health Care and completion of research project: &#8220;Interference in sleep in patients with pain in primary health care&#8221;, January 2008 &#8211; June 2009<\/li>\n<li>Residency in Family and Community Medicine,  Florida Nord and Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge, Hospitalet de Llobregat, 2005-2009<\/li>\n<li>Passed M.I.R. exam (licensing examination) in the first round, 2005<\/li>\n<li>Graduate of Medicine and Surgery, Universitat de Barcelona, 1998-2004.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Key Publications:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Treatment of Chronic Hiccups in Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review.
