Hidden curriculum shapes how med students learn end-of-life care
NPR / Kaiser Health News, October 31, 2012

More intense care can translate into worse, and more expensive, care at the end of life. The nation's 23 top academic medical centers also vary quite a bit in what researchers say is the intensity of care they provide patients at the end of life, according to an analysis from the Dartmouth Atlas Project.
