National Survey of Pediatric Residency Program Directors and Residents Regarding Education in Palliative Medicine and End-of-Life Care

Abstract

For palliative care principles to be better incorporated into pediatric practice, they must be incorporated into residency education, optimally through informal teaching and during rounds. Finding ways to teach residents palliative medicine during clinical "teachable moments" and standardizing didactic curricula should become a priority in palliative and end-of-life care education.
