Residency End-of-Life Curriculum Project

Faculty Development
A key element in the residency curriculum project is faculty development. A core faculty with more extensive knowledge in end-of-life care is important, but it is also essential to assure a minimum basic level of knowledge among clinical faculty throughout the department and school.

One challenge that will need special attention is the widely dispersed geography of the teaching hospitals in Buffalo. Academic presentations are always going to be at an inconvenient location for a large segment of the clinical faculty. Programs repeated at multiple sites as well as distance learning, online resources and other innovative modalities will be necessary.
