End-Of-Life Volunteerism: An Analysis Of No One Dies Alone (Noda) Program Volunteers, Kristin Sarsfield, Kevin Hickey

Posters

The inception of hospice in the United Kingdom during the mid 20th century marked a focal point in medical care for dying individuals.

Death And Dying Across The Lifespan, Paige Sala

Entry Level Occupational Therapy Doctoral Capstone Projects Class of 2025

Death and Dying Across The Lifespan centers on the creation of three interdisciplinary educational courses focused on end-of-life care for three distinct age groups: geriatrics, adults, and pediatrics. The courses aim to improve undergraduate students’ competence in addressing death and dying with patients, caregivers, and other healthcare professionals within the team. The courses were developed in response to growing evidence that supports the need for education on death, dying, and caring for individuals at the end of life. Many students are not adequately exposed to these topics in current curricula, despite the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in this area of …

Comparing Chatgpt And Deepseek For Deprescription Support In Geriatric And Palliative Care: An Exploratory Study Using Clinical Vignettes, Gokhan Demir, Angel Sanchez, Sanaz Kashan

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2025

Background: Polypharmacy is common in older adults and increases risks of adverse drug events, falls, and hospitalizations. Deprescription can mitigate these harms but is often hindered by time constraints, fragmented guidelines, and complex comorbidities. Artificial intelligence (AI) large language models (LLMs) may provide decision-support for deprescription in geriatric and palliative care.

Objective: To compare ChatGPT and DeepSeek in their deprescription recommendations across standardized polypharmacy vignettes.

Methods: Three validated clinical vignettes, varied by activities of daily living (ADL) status and cardiovascular disease (CVD) history, were presented to ChatGPT (GPT-4/5) and DeepSeek (2024 version). Each vignette was tested in three replicates per …
