Palliative Care Provider Online Education in Evidence-Based Complementary Therapies
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Online CE/CME course for Health Care Provider Education. Completed, enrolled 51 participants.
Detailed Summary
Palliative care represents one of the most rapidly expanding sectors of health care. Its rapid growth has been accompanied by widespread needs for training of multidisciplinary personnel to work with the unique set of health issues specific to its population of patients - not only those at end-of-life, but also patients with long-term, incurable, chronic and degenerative illnesses. This project will develop the first online continuing education program for palliative care personnel in the evidence-based application of complementary therapies, to enhance patient care and quality of life in the palliative care setting.
