Junior doctors show basic opioid knowledge with gaps in rotation and dosing; leaves open whether mandatory palliative rotations close these deficits in practice.
Background: Pain continues to remain an issue in the general population even though studies have demonstrated that adequate pain management is possible with the use of opioids.
