BackgroundWhether online resources can facilitate spread of palliative care knowledge and skills in India is an urgent question given few providers and a large, ageing population.ObjectivesWe surveyed needs and feasibility regarding e-learning.MethodsIndian, Australian and North American palliative care experts developed an electronic survey using Qualtrics, emailed to all registrants of the 2017 Indian Association of Palliative Care (IAPC) conference and distributed during the conference.ResultsOf 60 respondents (66% men, 60% doctors), most worked in hospitals and had oncology backgrounds, and 35% were from Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Most (90.9%) received palliative care training in India or overseas with 41% trained in a Trivandrum Institute of Palliative Sciences residential course (4–6 weeks). 17% completed the IAPC essential certificate and 22% had undertaken various distance learning courses. Interest in online training was substantial for most aspects of palliative care.ConclusionThere was a high level of interest and reported feasibility in taking a case-based online course. This pilot survey provides support for online case-based education in India, particularly among physicians.

Access to palliative care remains challenging to those living in rural areas across the globe. This disparity of care leaves many without critically important palliative care services across their illness trajectory, especially in its final stages. Creative strategies to meet the palliative care needs of rural patients such as telehealth, videoconferencing specialists’ consultation, and web-based resources exist. Using these strategies where available can address some palliative care disparities and access to care in rural areas that were previously absent. Developing clinical capacity of rural clinicians through enhanced education in primary palliative care in training programs, expanding services with the use of nurse practitioners, and using palliative care–trained community lay health workers are also strategies to improve access. Additionally, by developing rural hospital providers’ knowledge and skills to provide primary palliative care in tasks such as establishing care goals, communication, and basic symptom control may prevent many transfers to academic centers miles away. Through ongoing education and primary palliative care training and innovations in bringing specialty care to rural areas, “palliative care everywhere” will soon be a reality.

The Impact

QUESTION ASKED: What are graduate medical education trainees’ attitudes and beliefs regarding palliative care, what is their awareness of the availability and role of palliative care services, and does previous exposure to a palliative care rotation facilitate a better awareness of palliative care? SUMMARY ANSWER: A vast majority of oncology trainees perceived palliative care services to be beneficial for patient care (92%) and were supportive of mandatory palliative care training (74%). Surgical oncology trainees and trainees with no previous palliative care exposure were significantly less likely to consult palliative care and had significantly less awareness of palliative care. METHODS: We conducted an institutional review board–approved online survey to determine awareness of palliative care among graduate medical trainees at MD Anderson. One hundred seventy oncology trainees who completed at least 9 months of training in medical, surgical, gynecologic, and radiation oncology fellowship and residency program during the 2013 academic year completed an online questionnaire. Descriptive, univariate, and multivariate analyses were performed. BIAS, CONFOUNDING FACTOR(S), DRAWBACKS: Although there was a substantial response rate (78%), the results may not be generalizable as the survey was conducted at a single institution. Also, the frequency of palliative care referrals is self-reported. REAL-LIFE IMPLICATIONS: Our findings suggest that exposure to palliative care training may lead to increased awareness of palliative care among oncologists, and thus, increased overall and early referrals to palliative care. Surgical oncology trainees may benefit from increased exposure to palliative care rotations. More research is needed to characterize the impact of training on referral patterns to palliative care. In the meantime, efforts should be made to include formal palliative care rotations in oncology training. [Table: see text]
