Palliative Care Challenges in Nigeria: A qualitative study of interprofessional perceptions.

Context: Palliative care awareness, education and practice vary widely across global health systems, especially throughout low- and middle-income countries such as Nigeria. Unfortunately, qualitative investigations into the context, experiences and challenges of Nigerian health care professionals providing palliative care in these settings are still underrepresented in the literature.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to better understand the perceptions of palliative care providers in Nigeria.

Integrating Cultural Humility into the Medical Education Curriculum: Strategies for Educators.

Issue: The framework of cultural humility, which emphasizes curiosity and self-reflection over mastery, was identified over 20 years ago as a way to address implicit bias in health care, an important factor in health disparities.

Evidence: Health disparities persist throughout the United States among a growing population of diverse patients.
