Palliative care in the education of physiotherapists in Germany - an anonymized cross-sectional survey of trainees and students

The findings underscore a conspicuous incongruity between the necessity for and the accessibility of palliative care education within the physiotherapy curriculum.

The pronounced interest among students in additional teaching content and practical experience underscores the necessity for enhanced integration of palliative care education into physiotherapy curricula.
