DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Much progress has been made in palliative care education since publication of reports such as the Institute of Medicine's Approaching Death document, especially for medical residents and staff nurses. However, many health care professional students continue to have limited education and clinical experience related to palliative care. Additionally, they lack the preparation to collaborate with other disciplines to provide comprehensive palliative care. We propose to develop and implement a novel university-based, Interdisciplinary Palliative Care Education Program for graduate students in nursing, medicine, and other health-related disciplines. We are in a strong position to support development of the proposed program because a) our institution is firmly committed to this educational endeavor and b) we have a cadre of interdisciplinary faculty who have begun to develop research programs in palliative care and to integrate palliative care into the graduate curricula. An interdisciplinary advisory committee has been established to oversee the development, implementation, evaluation and dissemination of the Interdisciplinary Palliative Care Education Program. Over the five-year project period, we will a) develop and implement a novel Interdisciplinary Palliative Care Education Program that builds upon existing end-of-life and palliative care initiatives and incorporates interdisciplinary didactic coursework, case conferences, and clinical activities for graduate-level health care students; b) implement a comprehensive evaluation plan for the proposed Interdisciplinary Palliative Care Education Program; and c) sustain the Interdisciplinary Palliative Care Education Program within Rush University Medical Center and disseminate the education model to other academic medical centers by sharing our experiences and course and clinical materials. We anticipate that the proposed program will significantly enhance collaborations among our health care professional students and faculty and improve the quality of care for patients requiring palliative care for cancer and other life limiting illnesses. Given the large number of persons in need of palliative care, the need for this kind of educational program is tremendous. Providing health care professional students with the state-of-the art knowledge and skills in palliative care and experiences in interdisciplinary collaboration will offer patients a superior quality of palliative care.

描述（由申请人提供）：自医学研究所的《接近死亡》文件等报告发表以来，姑息治疗教育取得了很大进展，特别是对住院医师和护士人员。 然而，许多卫生保健专业的学生仍然有有限的教育和临床经验有关的姑息治疗。 此外，他们缺乏与其他学科合作提供全面姑息治疗的准备。 我们建议制定和实施一个新的大学为基础的，跨学科的姑息治疗教育计划的研究生在护理，医学和其他健康相关学科。 我们是在一个强大的地位，以支持拟议的程序的发展，因为a）我们的机构是坚定地致力于这一教育奋进和B）我们有一个跨学科的教师谁已经开始开发姑息治疗的研究计划，并将姑息治疗纳入研究生课程的干部。 已经成立了一个跨学科咨询委员会，以监督跨学科姑息治疗教育方案的制定、执行、评估和传播。 在五年的项目期内，我们将a）开发和实施一个新的跨学科姑息治疗教育计划，该计划建立在现有的临终关怀和姑息治疗计划的基础上，并为研究生水平的医疗保健学生提供跨学科的教学课程、病例会议和临床活动; B）为拟议的跨学科姑息治疗教育计划实施一个全面的评估计划;以及c）在拉什大学医学中心内维持跨学科姑息治疗教育计划，并通过分享我们的经验、课程和临床材料将教育模式传播到其他学术医学中心。 我们预计，拟议的计划将显着加强我们的医疗保健专业的学生和教师之间的合作，并提高护理质量的病人需要姑息治疗癌症和其他生命限制性疾病。 鉴于需要姑息治疗的人数众多，对这种教育方案的需求是巨大的。 为卫生保健专业学生提供最先进的姑息治疗知识和技能以及跨学科合作的经验，将为患者提供上级姑息治疗质量。
