ABSTRACT
<b>Background</b>: The demand for palliative care in Japan has risen over recent years, and training of palliative care physicians is an important problem. However, little is known about unmet needs for education and training systems as well as career development among young physicians who wish to specialize in palliative care. <b>Purpose</b>: To explore unmet needs among palliative care physicians in training. <b>Method</b>: We held group discussions in a forum for physicians of postgraduate year≦15, and analyzed their opinion on topics such as "what are unmet needs?" using theme analysis. <b>Results</b>: Forty physicians participated. Theme analysis revealed the following unmet needs among young physicians; "securing of manpower", "securing of quality of training programs/education", "improvement of network", "removal of many barriers to keeping on a palliative care physician", and "establishment of career models for a specialist". <b>Conclusions</b>: We should discuss solutions for the unmet needs to secure more palliative care physicians.
