摘要：

Many geriatricians care for terminally ill and dying patients, but it is unclear whether the current geriatric medicine fellows receive sufficient training in hospice and palliative care (H&PC). A national cross-sectional survey was conducted between March and June 2011 to determine fellows' experience and perceived competency with H&PC. Fellows (143 of 298, 48%) and program directors (PDs; 69 of 150, 46%) answered the surveys on paper or online. Three-fourths of the fellows planned to practice H & PC; however, only 35% fellows versus 42% PDs believed that fellows were well prepared in this area. Factors associated with fellows' self-reported better preparation included completion of an H&PC rotation, experiences with an inpatient hospice facility, inpatient palliative care consulting service, and the presence of a formal H&PC curriculum.
