Article Title: A community-based clinical selective in end-of-life care
Abstract: There is a widespread recognition among medical educators and accreditation organizations that medical students and young physicians lack the competency necessary to care for persons near the end of life. This article describes the institutional and attitudinal barriers to innovation in curriculum design. It then presents and evaluates a 1-month selective for fourth-year students that focuses on providing end-of-life care to immigrant populations in community-based home hospice. The selective joined biomedical training in pain management and palliative care, a clinical rotation in home hospice care with an analysis of the way that social and ethnic factors inform and influence end-of-life care.
