This study describes a model of structured virtual learning program, which can be implemented in settings with limited access to palliative care to increase knowledge and attitudes toward palliative care. The program equips health-care providers to better address serious health-related suffering, improving the quality of life for patients and their caregivers. The program demonstrates a model of training which can be replicated to support health-care providers in rural and remote settings.
