Learning objectives 1 To acquire a broad-based understanding of the principles, core knowledge, skills and attitudes of palliative medicine.

Description The program is designed to train physicians who will provide primary and consultant palliative care services and to provide clinical and basic academic training for physicians who may seek academic careers in palliative medicine. Successful trainees will acquire a broad-based understanding of the principles, core knowledge, skills and attitudes of palliative medicine. In addition, each trainee will identify personal learning objectives to complement the core objectives of the program and to complete a scholarly project. The program provides an advanced training opportunity during which a high degree of clinical autonomy and independent scholarship is expected and encouraged. The training is primarily clinical, although time is provided for the trainee to develop and complete the scholarly project. Clinical rotations include primary and consultative palliative medicine in both institutional and community settings.
