For the past five years, our accredited Hospice and Palliative Medicine (HPM) fellowship program has been integrating the \"verbatim\"-an exercise with a long and integral history in the training of health care chaplains. Verbatims are word-for-word accounts of a clinician's encounter with a patient and/or the patient's family. The verbatim serves as a formative educational exercise offering a method to hone one's clinical skills and competencies, while providing a unique space to practice self-awareness and self-reflection. Although sometimes difficult and intense for the fellow, we have found this to be a helpful exercise in improving the fellow's ability to make meaningful connections with patients and leading to improved outcomes of communication episodes. This potential growth in self-awareness supports both resiliency and mindfulness, which are essential skills for longevity and reduction of burnout risk in the field of HPM. The verbatim invites all participants to reflect on their own participation in facilitating whole person care to patients and families. Out of the six HPM milestone metrics for fellowship training, the verbatim exercise supports achievement in at least three of the milestones. We present survey data over the past five years of our fellowship in support of the utility of this exercise and for consideration to include this exercise in a palliative medicine fellowship. We offer additional suggestions for further study of this formative tool.
