Medicine Residents' Self-Perceived Competence in End-of-Life Care
Academic Medicine, 10/28/09

Billings ME et al. – Residents with more clinical experience during training had greater self–perceived competence providing end–of–life care. Increasing the quantity and quality of the end–of–life care experiences during residency with appropriate supervision and role modeling may lead to enhanced skill development and improve the quality of end–of–life care. The results suggest that cultivating bedside learning opportunities during residency is an appropriate focus for educational interventions in end–of–life care education.
