Across Europe, the provision of PC training for medical undergraduates is rather inconsistent and newly qualified physicians are entering practice with variable skill sets and may be unprepared to meet the needs of PC for an increasing number of patients and their families. In Romania, the country were the project lead is coming from, a recent quality insurance framework for higher education is requesting that all medical and nursing schools include Palliative care as a compulsory discipline in their curricula. At the beginning of the project only 2 out of the 12 universities were complying with this regulation The aim of the project was to produce and test a complex European PC undergraduate Program for medical students by - developing a model blended undergraduate PC curriculum based on the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC) recommendations for undergraduate training available in RO, GE, EN and credited with 3 ECET points and - to produces adjacent training material in RO and EN for face to face and online training format. - to increase capacity of trainers to incorporate modern teaching and assessment techniques and technology in their teaching and improve their capacity as mentors. Online courses or materials were produce regarding interactive teaching methods, use of technology, mentoring of students and innovative assessment methods ( both in RO and EN) To be able to implement this program academic trainers received tuition through 3 short term trainings. CONCRETE RESULTS and PARTICIPANTS Reviewed EAPC recommendation for undergraduate training available on the EAPC website European Model Palliative Care Curriculum for undergraduate medical training with 3ECTS available in English, Romanian and German 10 updated online courses covering topics on symptom control, psychosocial issues, available in English and Romanian and 9 new developed online courses on topics like basic palliative care, symptom management, psychosocial issues, nursing available in Romanian with free registration https://learningplatform.thepalliativehub.com/login/index.php; https://edu.unitbv.ro/login/index.phpTrainers toolkit including - 31 lesson plans for all topics in the curriculum available in Romanian and English- 14 power point presentations for all theoretical courses available in Romanian and partially English - 28 organizers of seminars with case studies, exercises, role plays etc available and Romanian and partially English Online platform available in Romanian and English with free access concerning - Use of technology to support the innovate delivery of undergraduate education- Technology in teaching and in learningOpen online course on mentoring available in Romanian and English and online Mentoring manual for academic trainers, freely available in Romanian and English Open Online Resource Interactive teaching and novel assessment methods in Romanian and English Objectives based assessment for medical students for trainers use in Romanian Two articles published in ISI journals in 2020Resolution on palliative care education in undergraduate training in Romanian and agreements signed with 2 other Romanian medical schools ) to transfer the curriculum and the teaching materials.

The results are reflected in: -new competencies of future doctors ; good practices (89 academic staff participated in short-term trainings, over 4500 participants to other indirect dissemination events)
