To address this gap, an e-module was developed to teach the GUIDE framework. GUIDE is a structured approach that integrates illness-trajectory graphic aids with communication prompts designed to improve illness understanding and prognostic awareness among patients and families. This feasibility study evaluated engagement with the module, perceived value, and changes in attitudes, knowledge, skills, and confidence among postgraduate palliative medicine trainees.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>14 of 20 (70%) eligible trainees completed the e-module and accompanying retrospective pre\/post survey.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants reported improved understanding of illness trajectories, stronger beliefs about the importance of structured prognostic communication, and increased confidence in discussing death and uncertainty.
