Can video calls train doctors to give better comfort care to dying patients?

NCT ID NCT04984551

Summary

This study is testing if a special online training program (called Project ECHO) can help doctors and nurses in rural and underserved areas provide better comfort and symptom care (palliative care) for people with advanced cancer. It will measure if patients' quality of life and symptom control improves, and if their caregivers are more satisfied with the care provided. The goal is to see if this training model can be a practical way to expand access to good end-of-life care in regions with few specialists.
