Thematic synthesis of challenges reported across the included studies. The review reports that "some physicians do not consider it part of their job description", alongside logistical challenges of small class sizes and training not sustained after staff turnover without a faculty lead.

"It was noted that the motivation to introduce grief training may be low, as some physicians do not consider it part of their job description [45,52]."
