Palliative Medicine and Hospice Care for Physician Associates Specialty Review is a comprehensive guide tailored for PAs preparing for the Certificate of Added Qualification (CAQ) in Palliative Medicine and Hospice Care. The review includes 215 multiple-choice questions divided across 11 chapters, organized into three sections: Essential Aspects of Serious Illness Patient Care, Managing Suffering and Distress, and Care Transitions, Including End-of-Life. The final section, “Practice Essentials,” features two chapters focused on Hospice Essentials and Communication Essentials. These chapters reinforce two fundamental aspects of the PA profession: the importance of compassionate and attentive listening skills and the commitment to lifelong learning in clinical medicine. While the topics in these chapters are not part of the CAQ blueprint, they are vital for PAs working in hospice settings or engaging with hospice care in the realm of palliative medicine. Each item in the book is accompanied by a case study in the question stem, followed by an analysis of the multiple-choice answers, explaining why one option is correct while the others are not. This valuable clinical material enhances the knowledge and understanding of PAs studying for the CAQ and benefits any physician or allied health professional involved in palliative medicine and hospice care.
