- Abstract
Research capacity in palliative and end-of-life care is less than some other fields of medicine where there is a longer track record of biomedical research. Palliative medicine clinicians often receive little or no formal research training during their postgraduate education; hence, education efforts may prove pivotal to increasing palliative care research capacity. To that end, our group established a national online training program on palliative care research methodologies, called Foundations of Palliative Care Research. This report describes the development and implementation of the course, and its evaluation. To inform decisions on the overall course objectives, length, design, and implementation, formal needs assessments were conducted through surveys of Canadian palliative medicine residency program directors and of Canadian palliative medicine residents.
