We offered LEAP Personal Support Worker (PSW) as a value add to our program so that students could expand their knowledge in palliative care and improve their employability skills. After successful completion of the course, students were able to apply the learning and new skills directly into their practice. Moreover, after completion of Pallium Canada's course, multiple learners stated a new passion and increased interest in working as a personal support worker in a palliative care setting. The LEAP certificate also formed a basis for high specialization, resulting in higher starting wages for our graduates.

Instructor, First Nations Technical Institute (FNTI), Personal Support Worker Program
The base hospital physicians at the Centre for Paramedic Education and Research have all taken additional training with Pallium through their Learning Essential Approaches to Palliative Care (LEAP) courses to help bridge that gap. Many of our paramedics have also been trained on LEAP Paramedic or are planning to do so in the near future. We chose LEAP because it is well established in Canada and the curriculum has benefited from that experience. We have found the training program has been exceptional and the material is flexible enough to be appropriate for many different types of providers and clinical settings. The instructors have all been excellent. I find it has been a great benefit to not only enhance my own medical practice, but also form a shared language and mental model to help better coordinate with our palliative care specialists.
