    AbstractCardiovascular disease (CVD) clinicians who care for seriously ill patients frequently report that they do not feel confident nor adequately prepared to manage patients' palliative care (PC) needs. With the goal, therefore, of increasing PC knowledge and skills amongst interprofessional clinicians providing CVD care, the ACC's PC Workgroup designed, developed, and implemented a comprehensive PC online educational activity. This paper describes the process and 13-month performance of this free, online activity for clinicians across disciplines and levels of training, "Palliative Care for the Cardiovascular Clinician" (PCCVC). A key component of PCCVC is that it is tailored to the lifelong learner; users can choose and receive credit for the activities that meet their individual learning needs. This webinar series was well-subscribed, and upon completion of the modules, learners reported better self-perceived abilities related to palliative care competencies. We propose PCCVC as a model for primary PC education for clinicians caring for individuals with other serious or life-shortening illnesses.Copyright © 2024 American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine.
