Abstract

Abstract: Palliative care, which focuses on symptom management, quality of life, and communication, is appropriate for patients at any age and any stage in the disease process. Because of increased patient demand, the United States faces a shortage of palliative care specialists. Expansion of palliative care curriculum in physician associate/assistant (PA) programs, on-the-job training, and improvement of regulatory practice guidelines can help PAs alleviate the shortage of palliative care professionals.
