Abstract
  • This study illustrates that the national trends in attitudes about palliative care also apply to UNC. Some of the students and faculty still believe the fallacy that palliative care and end-of-life care are the same. This demonstrates a need to further educate students about the subject. The proposed ideas for modifying the curriculum reflected similar actions taken by other medical schools that have proven to be effective. The study provides those ideas along with a plan for action to the TEC Committee to help them start the process for change.
