Résumé

As professionals working within palliative care struggle to find their niche in the academic, administrative and service continuum of patient care, we have a growing desire to share what has been learned with students and colleagues. The opportunities for student physicians to learn the principles and practices of caring for the dying are few. The described curriculum content is dependent on the McMaster philosophy of medical education and the developmental level of the student physician. Areas included are: philosophy of palliative care, communication skills, symptom assessment and control, approach to ethical issues, decision making and interdisciplinary team function. The authors describe the university's current approach in its specific contribution to undergraduate and postgraduate medical education, the continuum throughout those years and an examination of recommendations for the future.
