Abstract
Early training in palliative and end-of-life care communication is feasible and effective during the surgical clerkship. Students highly valued the simulated patient and/or family discussions and retained most of the skills and knowledge from the experiential simulated encounters. However, students felt the skills developed could be reinforced with opportunities to observe their attending physicians or residents leading such discussions and involving students in such discussions as and when appropriate.
