To assess the impact of the current curriculum for physician assistant (PA) students in palliative medicine and end-of-life care.
PA students were invited to participate in an anonymous online survey evaluating seven domains of knowledge in palliative medicine coupled with a self-assessment in competence. Participants were also asked to identify current and desired educational formats in palliative medicine education. There were 1,313 emailed surveys with 139 total responses.
Our results demonstrate that a year of clinical training only resulted in minimal improvement in factual knowledge. This suggests that there is insufficient exposure to palliative medicine education during their clinical training.
PA students recognize their knowledge gaps and lack of exposure in palliative medicine. A more focused curriculum is needed in training experiences for PA students.
评估当前针对医师助理（PA）学生的姑息医学与临终关怀课程的影响。
邀请PA学生参与一项匿名在线调查，该调查评估姑息医学七个知识领域，并进行能力自我评估。参与者还被要求确定姑息医学教育中当前和期望的教育形式。共发送了1313份电子邮件调查问卷，收到139份回复。
我们的结果表明，一年的临床培训仅使事实性知识有了最小程度的提高。这表明他们在临床培训期间接受的姑息医学教育不足。
PA学生认识到自己在姑息医学方面的知识差距和接触不足。在PA学生的培训经历中需要更有针对性的课程。
