About: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for healthcare providers skilled in rapid, flexible decision-making, effective and anticipatory leadership, and in dealing with trauma and moral distress. Palliative care (PC) workers have been an essential part of the COVID-19 response in advising on goals of care, symptom management and difficult decision-making, and in supporting distressed healthcare workers, patients and families. We describe GPEC (Global Palliative Education Collaborative), a training partnership between Harvard, UCSF, and Tulane medical schools in the US; and two international PC programs in Uganda and India. GPEC offers US-based PC fellows participation in an international elective to learn about resource-limited PC provision, gain perspective on global challenges to caring for patients at the end of life, and cultivate resiliency. International PC colleagues have much to teach about practicing compassionate PC amidst resource constraints and humanitarian crisis. We also describe a novel educational project that our GPEC faculty and fellows are participating in – the Resilience Inspiration Storytelling Empathy (RISE) Project - and discuss positive outcomes of the project.   Goto Sponge  NotDistinct  Permalink
