Palliative care is concerned with the care of patients with terminal illnesses. According to the European Association for Palliative Care, the estimated need for some form of palliative care is 50% to 89% of all dying patients.


Given the growing need for palliative care services, there is also a growing need for well-trained professionals to provide these services. The goal of the project is to develop a graduate program that aims to provide standardized palliative care practitioner knowledge, skills, and competencies based on modern scientific evidence and in accordance with ethical and integrative principles. Implementation of the program will help increase the number of professionals competent to care for palliative patients and raise awareness of the importance of palliative care among students and the public to improve the quality of care.
