An end-of-life curriculum: empowering the resident, patient, and family.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Physician training programs in undergraduate and graduate medical education strongly recommend that their trainees gain experience in helping patients and their families address end-of-life and palliative care issues with knowledge and compassion. Currently these training programs are inadequately meeting this goal. This paper describes a creative 1-day training workshop or several half-day seminars on the end of life, which are delivered as part of our family practice intern orientation. The training includes self-awareness about death, communicating bad news, guidance with paperwork and legal issues, the stages of grief, patient's perspectives on dying, hospice, and physician well-being.
