Abstract:
A 21-hour education program for fifth-year medical students in terminal care was started at Kyushu University in 1991 with the participation of more than 20 lecturers from different specialties. Problems encountered as this curriculum was introduced are discussed. We believe that establishing a professorship in terminal care is essential for improving this curriculum.
