SUMMARY
I have been a lecturer for around ten years. I have included instruction about palliative care to students during medical surgical courses, despite the lack of such services in Ethiopia. I anticipated this may prepare them for the future. I have trained health professionals with the topic of “how to deliver palliative care for HIV patients”. My current PhD studies focus on
palliative care. I have audited an undergraduate course in palliative care at Monash University in Australia and have an invitation to visit an inpatient palliative care services in Australia. I attended the 16th Australian Palliative Care conference in August 2017 and the Victorian Palliative Care Conference in September 2017.
