Summary: Abstract: End-of-life care or EOL care refers to care for people with advanced disease once they have reached a point of rapid decline, typically the last few weeks or months before death. This should be be taken seriously since it is important for the students, interns and physicians, to provide the utmost care to all patients, especially the terminally ill patients. This study was used as a basis for evaluation for the PGIs regarding their knowledge on EOL and their readiness to apply the knowledge in their care of terminally ill patients. This study correlates the level of knowledge and attitude of Post Graduate Interns in FEU-NRMF Medical Center. A total of 100 PGI participants who were doing their internship in a tertiary hospital from FEU-NRMF were assessed. A structured interview guided by a questionnaire which was answerable by yes or no and a grading for 1 being the lowest as never done at all, to 5 being the highest as very often was done to assess EOL care on both knowledge and attitude of the participants. There was 49 male and 51 female PGIs that answered the questionnaire, with a total of 100 participants. For the religion; 82% of the participants were catholic, 17% were Non-Catholic (Born again Christian, Iglesia ni Cristo, Baptist, Protestant) and 1% did not have any religion. A result of 85% had a personal experience with the death of a family member or close friends, while 15% did not have. It entailed that more PGI participants had a clinical experience in the care of dying patient/s at 96%, while 4% did not have. The department where PGIs experienced handling dying patient/s the most was Internal Medicine at 80% under have handled, Followed by Emergency Medicine at 66%. Next was Family and Community Medicine at 51% under have handled. Surgery came fourth at 45%. Fifth was Pediatrics at 43%. The least departments at PGIs have experienced handling dying patients was Obstetrics and Gynecology (21%) ENT(12%) and Ophthalmology at only 4%. It showed that more than 10 dying patients were encountered during the participants' internship at 71% while 10 and below at 29%. With this, the relationship between knowledge and attitude in the end of life care of post graduate Interns in a Tertiary Hospital has a coefficient of correlation of 0,6037 that is interpreted as not significant. This study conducted a survey among the PGIs of FEU-NRMF Medical Center and it revealed that the level of knowledge and attitude in End-of-Life care grained during their rotation in eight different departments in the hospital did not affect their readiness to apply the knowledge in their care of terminally ill patients.
