Students will focus on important research and public health issues related to palliative care. They will learn about palliative care, including how to identify patients who can benefit from this type of healthcare. They will also understand how research helps in managing common symptoms in palliative care patients.

Students will study the challenges in palliative care research and how clinical research can be conducted using public health research principles in a palliative care setting.
