Palliative Care has been incorporated into Physicianship and, as such, we are responsible for producing scenarios on History Taking and Compassionate Communication as well as a lecture and scenarios on Communication and Breaking Bad News.
Transition to clinical practice (TCP)听starts in month 19 of medical school. Palliative Care is responsible for giving 3 lectures during this six-month period. Under Comprehensive Health, we give lectures on "Last Days of Life", "Impact of Cancer on Families" and "Caring for Dying Patients at Home".
Core Clerkship听consumes all of Year 3 of med school. During this time, we give lectures on "Palliative Care Emergencies" and "Cancer Pain Management". We also have a full Palliative Care Recall Day focusing on how and why clinical sciences and the interdisciplinary team-based approach to care intersect in palliative care.
Third-year and fourth-year students are strongly encouraged to pursue a clinical clerkship rotation in palliative care. Students wishing to complete a rotation at one of these sites should consult the Electives Program.听听
