Table of Contents
The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions held hearings on the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act. This is a legislative step, not a law. The bill would require medical schools and residency programs to include specific training in palliative care and hospice.
Why it matters: This is a procedural stage in the legislative process. It signals that the committee is actively considering changes to how medical professionals are trained in end-of-life care. It does not change current medical education standards or patient care protocols.
Who it affects
- Medical schools and residency programs
