Description
Uma P Reddy, Gerilyn Boyle, and Robert Carpenter describe a pilot class that prepares medical students for patient death in a 2026 report from Texas A&M College of Medicine. Facing a patient's death ranks among the hardest moments in care work, yet training covered it only informally.
Students helped build a formal session mixing a physician video with a live mixed-team panel for second-year students in spring 2024. About sixty students took part across two campuses. Dallas survey replies showed felt readiness rising after the session, with every respondent calling it clinically relevant and worth recommending to others.
