Palliative
Care
Educational Programs
Medical Student Education
With generous support from the Nathan Cummings and Greenwall Foundations,
we developed a comprehensive palliative care training program
that crosses all four years of the undergraduate medical school
curriculum. This curriculum is nationally
recognized
as one of the few comprehensive undergraduate medical school curricula
that integrate palliative care and end-of-life care into each year
of medical student education. We also have a combined palliative
care/clinical ethic elective for senior medical students who are particularly
interested in these fields.

This article, published in the Journal of Palliative Medicine (2003; 6:365-380), describes the planning, implementation, and
evaluation of the palliative care and end-of-life curriculum. For
more detailed information view

the detailed curriculum.
