The palliative care system requires a unique set of professional skills and knowledge from the personnel such as physicians, nurses, and other specialists. In countries such as UK, United States, EU countries, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and others, there are various palliative care training programmes for physicians and nurses. Unfortunately, there is a limited number of Medical educational institutions that provide palliative care professional training in Israel. These training programmes are usually operated on a temporary basis and are mainly funded by private sponsors. As palliative care differs from other medical disciplines by its focus and methodology, an immediate change in professional training approach is needed in this discipline.
