Palliative care is a fundamental pillar of modern healthcare, providing qualified assistance and support during the most delicate moments of a patient’s life. The sector is evolving towards greater integration between technological innovation and a patient-centered approach, with the goal of improving quality of life and addressing the complex needs of patients and their families.
The Healthcare Master’s programs at the University of Parma offer advanced training in this field, preparing healthcare professionals to combine clinical and relational skills for effective and humanized care.
The curriculum covers key topics such as:
• Multidisciplinary approach: teamwork among doctors, nurses, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive patient care.
• Technological innovation: from the use of telemedicine to pain management through advanced therapies.
• Support for patients and families: strategies to ensure personalized care that respects individual values.
• Ethical and legal aspects: principles and regulations for responsible healthcare that upholds human dignity.
In a context where the demand for palliative care continues to grow, education plays a key role in preparing professionals to face future challenges with empathy, competence, and innovation.
