As the incidence of dementia rises, increased utilization of surrogate decision-makers, including legal guardians, is anticipated. This manuscript presents an analysis of resident physicians' experiences and perceptions regarding requirements, roles, and responsibilities of caring for older adults in need of, or already under, legal guardianship. This is a cross-sectional study, conducted at a tertiary academic medical center. A survey was sent, via Qualtrics, to all emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, general surgery, and medicine-pediatric resident physicians. Eighty-eight out of three hundred thirty-three (26.4%) eligible residents physicians completed the survey. Most (98.9%) reported caring for patients under guardianship, yet many resident physicians reported significant uncertainty regarding the roles and responsibilities of guardianship, including its potential benefits and limitations. They also displayed misconceptions and overconfidence about guardians' abilities to facilitate disposition, ensure financial security, and assign code status, among other matters. Our study highlights the importance of structured and directed education on the topic of guardianship for medical trainees.
