A five-year curriculum to better prepare surgeons for communicating with patients and families about end-of-life care, surgical risks, options and treatment alternatives will be piloted in 10 residency programs across the U.S. over the next three years.
Margaret “Gretchen” Schwarze, MD, a professor of vascular surgery at University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison, Wis., led the team of surgeon educators who developed the new curriculum, dubbed the “Fundamentals of Communication in Surgery,” according to a May 30 news release.
A $300,000 gift from the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation will allow Dr. Schwarze and her team to expand the curriculum testing to 10 additional surgical residency programs around the country.
