Preparing for the inevitable: a scoping review of death and dying education in U.S. medical schools
There remains a sizeable gap in evidence-based medical education related to knowledge, skills, and abilities pertaining to end-of-life care. The authors offer next steps for developing, implementing, and measuring evidence-based interventions to improve end-of-life care competency. The authors advocate for continued implementation of evidence-based educational interventions, regardless of anticipated specialty area, throughout all preclinical and clinical years.
