Background: End-of-life and palliative care education (EOL/PC) is an essential component of undergraduate medical education. We aimed to develop an EOL/PC curriculum that was compact, multidisciplinary, and effective. Outcome measures included effectiveness of knowledge acquisition, sustainability, and impact on student experience.Methods: All 127 students in the 4-week Outpatient Medicine clerkship from October 2012 to June 2013 participated. On Day 1, all students took a pretest and participated in an EOL/PC goal-setting session. All students spent 2 days with a hospice nurse and independently reviewed a web-based didactic on symptom management. At the intercession, all students took a posttest and a formative Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) to discuss goals of care with a dying patient. Sixty-eight students completed hospice prior to the intersession and 58 after the intersession. Pretest, posttest, and OSCE scores were compared between the groups. At the end of the rotation, students submitted a reflective essay about their hospice experience and shared it with the hospice nurse and a peer. A qualitative analysis of the essays was performed. The 18 palliative care and hospice nurses and doctors with whom the students worked were surveyed anonymously.
