An Interprofessional Primary Palliative Care Curriculum for Health Care Trainees and Practicing Clinicians.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Equipping all interprofessional clinicians with foundational palliative care competencies is essential to address the complex needs of the growing number of adults living with chronic, progressive, or life-threatening serious illness. There is a paucity of high-quality, open-access primary palliative care curricula and to the best of our knowledge, none designed interprofessionally.

Objective

As an interprofessional team, we aimed at designing and evaluating an interactive primary palliative care education curriculum for interprofessional clinicians and trainees.

Design

We developed a curriculum that includes nine 55-minute interactive modules facilitated by two interprofessional clinicians in small groups of 8-12 interprofessional learners.
