Online Learning

Yale Interdisciplinary Palliative Care Educational Program is a blended curriculum with interactive computer based clinical cases which students will complete prior to participating in face to face faculty led workshops. The online curriculum must be completed prior to attending the workshop. This program is mandatory for medical students when assigned during the corresponding clerkships.

Module One: Pain and Symptom Management  (Med I)
Medical Students during their third year Internal Medicine II Clerkship will participate in this online learning program which is followed by a faculty led workshop. Students must complete the online material prior to the workshop. There is a 10 question quiz at the end of the module. Students should print their quiz results and bring to the workshop for discussion.
