Dr. Reitschuler-Cross completed a fellowship in medical education and incorporates these teaching skills working with fellows, residents, and medical students during daily rounds. In its essence, palliative care is present in all fields of medical practice, and for this reason, she believes that it is important for medical trainees to have exposure to palliative care skills early in their education. Dr. Reitschuler-Cross is the Director of the palliative care elective for University of Pittsburgh medical students, which allows her to instruct future physicians.
In addition, Dr. Reitschuler-Cross focuses on teaching communication skills to all levels of practicing physicians. Along with colleagues in the divisions of palliative care and cardiology, she helped to develop CardioTalk, an intensive two-day communication training session for cardiologists.
