According to the Massachusetts Coalition for Serious Illness Care<\/a>\u00a0updates, the Massachusetts Medical Schools Collaborative has been working on several areas of serious illness care. The four medical schools in Massachusetts (Boston University School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School\/Cambridge Health Alliance, Tufts University School of Medicine and UMass Medical School<\/span>) \u00a0launched focus groups with the fourth year medical students led by Dr. Jennifer Reidy, Chief of Palliative Care at UMass Memorial Medical Center1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think most medical students learn about serious illness care either in elective courses or \u2018on the fly\u2019 by observing other clinicians, so I\u2019m interested to hear how they have or have not been taught these skills.\u201d Dr. Reidy said.<\/p>\n

Their focus groups\u00a0are\u00a0designed to give students the opportunity to share openly about the formal and informal serious illness care education they\u2019ve received and will provide rich context for the Collaborative\u2019s work in curriculum and faculty development1<\/sup>. They\u00a0are being facilitated by Dr. Roberta Goldman, a medical anthropologist from Brown University.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe students spoke very movingly about their training around serious illness care, positive and negative role modeling they have witnessed, and their experiences talking with patients and families about serious illness\u201d Dr. Goldman said.<\/p>\n
