'Now I can train myself to be with death': a phenomenological study with young doctors in care homes supported by a palliative care unit during the second wave of the pandemic in Italy.

Integration between specialists and young doctors with an early entry into the workforce during the pandemic in CHs set out a 'shift' to a proactive and creative approach through a new awareness of professional and personal roles in doctor-patient relations. The continuity of care models should be rethought by integrating CHs and PC. Adequate PC training for young doctors (at pregraduate and postgraduate levels) can change doctors' vision and daily practice in assisting patients at the end of life.
