Knowledge and Attitudes of Medical Students in Palliative Medicine

Based on our results and review of the current literature, medical students need more education on the treatment of respiratory and gastrointestinal conditions in seriously ill patients and exposure to the practice of PPC during medical school. This will increase the likelihood of offering these resources to patients and feeling comfortable with these concepts as residents and attending physicians. Additionally, this study will contribute to the developing body of knowledge regarding medical student education in palliative medicine, as many studies have not been done on this topic.
