The results of this study verify that emergency physicians in training have insufficient knowledge of pain therapy and end-of-life decisions. The data of this investigation suggest that more attention should be paid to education on pain therapy and end-of-life care in medical curricula. Prehospital emergency physicians may thus be better prepared to provide quality care for palliative patients.
