Abstract
Little is known about the impact on health care students of early end-of-life care (EOLC) education and patient contact. We developed an EOLC course that allowed students to serve as volunteer advocates for patients at the end of life (EOL). We evaluated the course's acceptability to students and its effect on students' attitudes and beliefs.
