Improving Palliative Care Education in Child Neurology Residency Programs
A Physicians Weekly article highlights the results of a national needs assessment examining pediatric palliative care education within child neurology residency programs. The study found significant gaps in formalized palliative care training, with many residents reporting limited exposure to important topics like serious illness communication and symptom management. The findings emphasize the need for structured, comprehensive palliative care education in residency programs to better prepare future child neurologists for managing complex neurological conditions and improving patient care.
