Promoting Palliative Care Internationally: Building Leaders to Promote Education, Practice, and Advocacy

In February 2000, nine nursing educators, practitioners, and researchers met in Nashville, TN to develop a palliative care curriculum specifically for nurses. The following month, twenty-two advisors from nursing organizations across the United States convened in Washington, DC to review the recommended curriculum development and dissemination plans for end-of-life care throughout nursing schools, hospitals, hospices, homecare, and geriatric settings. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) provided funding for curriculum and competency development and for 6 national train-the-trainer courses to be held from 2001 to 2003.
