Particularly when discussing goals of care and delivering bad news, which is often complicated by differing values and beliefs. Many trainees lack formal education in communication skills for end-of-life care. Implementing a formal curriculum may improve physician-patient relationships, parents\u2019 mental health, and overall patient care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To assess the impact of an integrative multimodal simulation-based palliative care workshop experience combining simulated complex medical cases with challenging conversations to mirror real life scenarios on clinicians\u2019 knowledge, attitudes and communication skills.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Three simulation scenarios were conducted, combining medical management of a high-fidelity mannequin with challenging conversations with actors portraying as parents. Changes in participants\u2019 attitudes, knowledge, and communication skills were assessed pre- and post-intervention using both subjective and objective measures. Data was analyzed using chi-square tests, and paired-sample t-tests.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty-two participants completed the scenarios with a significant improvement in verbal and non-verbal communication skills, between the first and second case.
