Surgical palliative care (PC) facilitates communication between surgeons and patients/family about prognosis, symptom control, and therapeutic goals. Surgical critical care (SCC) fellows are at the forefront of the intensive care team; thus, we aim to assess previous and ongoing experiences in delivering PC by surveying fellows at a large academic center. Seventeen surveys were completed in which 59% of fellows reported no previous PC education. Six fellows (35%) reported participating in goals of care/end-of-life (GOC/EOL) discussions “a few times a year” during residency, while 41% responded the same for transitioning patients to comfort-focused care (CFC). When asked if respondents felt comfortable facilitating GOC/EOL discussions prior to fellowship, 7 (41%) answered “disagree” or “strongly disagree.” Most fellows reported that more training in navigating GOC/EOL discussions (88%) and transitioning patients to CFC (76%) is needed. This assessment demonstrates variability in fellows’ prior PC exposure and a strong desire for more structured training. |
