Jennifer Snaman is an Attending physician with the Pediatric Advanced Care Team (PACT) and the pediatric neuro-oncology team at Boston Children’s Hospital. She completed fellowships in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology and Hospice and Palliative Medicine at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN before returning to Boston to join PACT in August 2017. She is board certified in Pediatrics, Hospice and Palliative Medicine and Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. Her research interests include communication and decision making in adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with advanced cancer and early parental grief following the death of a child from cancer. She developed MyPref, an adaptive conjoint analysis-based decision and communication tool used to quantify and communicate medical treatment preferences in AYA patients with high-risk cancer. Through her partnership with bereaved parents, she has worked to illuminate the early bereavement experience following the death of a child from cancer with the goal of developing additional supportive interventions.
