| Popis: | PURPOSE: Curricula on advance care planning are commonly absent or inadequate in the majority of medical schools.

METHODS: This convergent, mixed methods study used a pre-post, longitudinal design. Confidence having end-of-life conversations was assessed at three timepoints. A linear mixed effects model compared mean confidence at the three timepoints.
