The confluence of enhanced attention to primary care and palliative care education presents educators with an opportunity to improve both (as well as patient care) through integrated teaching. Improvements in palliative care education will have benefits for dying patients and their families, but will also extend to the care of many other primary care patients, including geriatric patients and those with chronic illnesses, who make up a large proportion of the adult primary care population. In addition, caring for the dying, and teaching others to carry out this task, can be an important vehicle for personal and professional growth and development for both students and their teachers.
对初级保健和姑息治疗教育的关注度不断提高，这为教育工作者提供了一个通过整合教学来改善这两者（以及患者护理）的机会。姑息治疗教育的改进将造福于临终患者及其家属，也将延伸到许多其他初级保健患者的护理中，包括老年患者和慢性病患者，他们在成年初级保健人群中占很大比例。此外，照顾临终患者并教导他人执行这项任务，对于学生及其教师而言，可能是个人和职业成长与发展的重要途径。
