Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new educational tool can improve the training and educational process for learners who will already be taking part in the palliative care rotation at Children's National Hospital. The main questions it aims to answer are: * If learners who are trained using the educational tool more frequently answer strongly agree/agree to the question "I achieved the standard objectives of the palliative care rotation" * If learners who are trained using the educational tool more frequently answer strongly agree/agree to the question "I achieved my specific objectives of the palliative care rotation" If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare responses from learners who did and and did not have their rotation guided by the educational tool to see if there are differences. Participants will engage in their palliative care rotation as they would have otherwise, though those in the intervention group will be provided different resources. They will be asked to provide responses to survey questions on their end-of-rotation evaluation, and some will be invited to participate in a focus group at the end of their rotation.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Rotation Using Flexible Education Tool	The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a flexible education tool that utilizes a palliative care education database of resources to tailor the structure of a learner rotation to their specific needs. At the moment, education is provided in an ad hoc manner, based on the specific learning objectives, bandwidth of preceptors, and personal knowledge base and resource library. The purpose of this intervention is to provide a standardized database of resources that can be pulled from in an automated manner to design a tailored curriculum for each learner based on their personal learning objectives, learning style, year in training, and experience with palliative care.
BEHAVIORAL	Standard Palliative Care Education	This is the typical palliative care education that is provided in an ad hoc manner, based on the specific learning objectives, bandwidth of preceptors, and personal knowledge base and resource library.
