Abstract
The End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium project is a comprehensive, national education program designed to improve end-of-life care. In the years 2006-2007, specific End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium modules were translated into Russian and presented to doctors and nurses from across the Russian Federation. This article discusses the experience of teaching the End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium curriculum in Russia and some of the similarities and differences between teaching this content in the United States and the Russian Federation. This content was primarily taught in Saint Petersburg to diverse groups of Russian healthcare practitioners. This US/Russian collaborative is only 2 years old, but already some changes are occurring to institutionalize palliative care education into the Russian educational system.
