Abstract
In 2000, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) mandated that all medical schools must have a curriculum for end-of-life care, however, few schools have developed a comprehensive didactic and experiential four-year curriculum to meet this requirement. In order to comply with the LCME, as well as complement the existing didactic end-of-life care curriculum, Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) training in ethics and palliative care was introduced during the third year surgical clerkship.
