Education in neuropalliative care

Article indépendant

KRAMER, Neha M. | BESBRIS, Jessica | HUDOBA, Christine

The importance and value of providing palliative care for patients with neurologic disease is increasingly recognized. While palliative and neuropalliative specialists may be well-positioned to provide this care, there is a shortage of specialists to address these needs. As a result, much of the upfront palliative care will naturally be provided by the treating neurologist. It is imperative that all neurologists receive quality training in primary palliative care skills. As the subspecialty of neuropalliative care grows, the need for specialty neuropalliative education has arisen. This chapter reviews existing educational initiatives and common neuropalliative-oriented career tracks and identifies opportunities for growth along the continuum of medical education and beyond.
