N2 - The need to integrate palliative care (PC) training into surgical education has been increasingly recognized. Our aim is to describe a set of PC educational strategies, with a range of requisite resources, time, and prior expertise, to provide options that surgical educators can tailor for different programs. Each of these strategies has been successfully employed individually or in some combination at our institutions, and components can be generalized to other training programs. Asynchronous and individually paced PC training can be provided using existing resources published by the American College of Surgeons and upcoming SCORE curriculum modules. A multiyear PC curriculum, with didactic components of increasing complexity for more advanced residents, can be applied based on available time in the didactic schedule and local expertise. Simulation-based training in PC skills can be developed to provide objective competency-based training. Finally, a dedicated rotation on a surgical palliative care service can provide the most immersive experience with steps toward clinical entrustment of PC skills for trainees.
