Physician Advance Care Planning Experiences and Beliefs by General Specialty Status and Sex.

CONCLUSIONS: Many physicians, regardless of specialty type or sex, are interested in undertaking more ACP conversations and being trained to do so. Overall, more female physicians than male physicians were involved and interested in various aspects of ACP, and they were more accepting of the involvement of nonphysician healthcare professionals in ACP. Multiple barriers for clinicians, patients, and families were identified that will need to be addressed by work settings or through education to increase ACP. PMID: 30512123 [PubMed - in process]
