Abstract

Given the increased need for palliative care services globally, the education of nurses has become paramount. In response, a group of nurses from Romania and the United States developed diverse nursing educational programs to meet the palliative care educational needs of nurses in Central-Eastern European countries. The purpose of this article is to describe a palliative nursing masterclass that was offered virtually to 59 participants, primarily nurses but also other health care professionals, from 11 Central-Eastern European countries.
