en Nursing Editorial <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Palliative care (PC) has become essential for improving quality of life globally, yet Iran faces significant barriers, including limited policies, workforce shortages, and cultural misconceptions. Despite recent progress&mdash;such as establishing a national strategy and increasing medication access&mdash;service delivery remains limited, especially outside major cities. To address these gaps, the Student Scientific Research Center at Tehran University of Medical Sciences has initiated an international collaboration with the End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC), in partnership with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing and the Center for Palliative and Supportive Care at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), to expand interprofessional palliative care education in Iran.</span></span></div> Palliative care, Education, ELNEC, Iran 1 3 http://nmj.goums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-2123-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Arvin Mirshahi Mirshahiarvin13750@gmail.com 100319475328460015701 100319475328460015701 Yes Students’ Scientific Research Center, Department of Medical-Surgical Nursing, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran; Center for Palliative and Supportive Care, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama, United States of America Betty Ferrell BFerrell@coh.org 100319475328460015702 100319475328460015702 No Division of Nursing Research and Education, Department of Population Sciences, City of Hope, Duarte, California, United States of America; End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium, Duarte, California, United States of America Marie Bakitas mbakitas@uab.edu 100319475328460015703 100319475328460015703 No Center for Palliative and Supportive Care, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama, United States of America; Department of Medicine, School of Nursing, Division of Gerontology, Geriatrics, and Palliative Care, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama, United States of America
