"A compulsory internship in palliative care ! Do I really have to do it? " An ethical approach to pedagogical support in palliative care

Palliative care practices are changing and are not only provided in hospitals, in specifically units. Health professionals'skills require an appropriate training, both initial and continuous, in order to meet a lot of expectations (personal, institutional, political, etc.). Faced with obligations, like a compulsory internship in palliative care, educational engineering and pedagogical supports are to be questioned in order to propose a better training based on innovations. Besides the resources mobilised, like simulation in health, pedagogical purposes need to be clarified. The main goal would be to allow students to freely choose a way while respecting their singularity. (C) 2020 Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.
