Palliative and End-of-Life Care Training During the Surgical Clerkship

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In 2000, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education required that all medical schools provide experiential training in end-of-life care. To adhere to this mandate and advance the professional development of medical students, experiential training in communication skills at the end-of-life was introduced into the third-year surgical clerkship curriculum at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine.
