Welcome to Multicultural Palliative Searchable Reference Database
This project aims to catalog key palliative care references related to multicultural care. We hope that this database will help anyone who is interested in culturally respectful, humble care of seriously ill patients and families.
We will make every effort to keep this database current and update it four times a year. If you find an important reference that needs to be added to this database, please do send us the citation and we will add it to the collection during routine scheduled updates.
