The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) standards state that medical education must cover all important aspects of end-of-life (EOL) care [1]. End-of-life care learning is thought to be categorized into formal curriculum taught in lectures; informal curriculum, conveyed through clinical experiences; and “hidden curriculum,” inferred from behaviors and implicit in the culture of biomedicine [2]. Research demonstrates both the need for development of formal curriculum on end-of-life topics and the importance of clinical care experiences with seriously ill patients to prepare medical students to provide quality end-of-life care [3]. Deans of medical schools agree that end-of-life instruction is an important part of the medical curriculum but support an integrative diffusion approach by which EOL instruction is provided as a part of the existing clerkships [4]. While this strategy may sound workable in theory, in practice non-palliative care faculty in the various clerkships do not have specific EOL expertise and thus may not be able to effectively mentor medical students on the core palliative care skills and clinical competencies. Hence, it is vitally important to provide skill-based immersive experiences as a part of preclinical training in palliative care.
