Abstract
Methods. A unique aspect of the module is that senior students are divided into small groups for case discussions based on the medical and surgical specialties they will soon be entering. Multiple cases are designed to highlight practical and clinically relevant palliative care issues related to Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Surgery, Ob/Gyn, Pediatrics, Radiology, Emergency Medicine, and a combined group of Pathology, Ophthalmology, and Dermatology. Co-facilitated by a palliative care specialist and a physician from the respective specialty, students discuss two cases that build competence in end-of-life care and provide a forum to express their fears and concerns about the care of dying patients. Topics include giving bad news, care of the imminently dying, hospice care, pain and symptom control, self-determination in healthcare decision-making, and decisional capacity.
