Abstract

Abstract Although palliative care is expanding in Brazil, there are still weaknesses related to professional training and continuing education. This study mapped the main educational strategies regarding palliative care for healthcare professionals in Brazil. A scoping review was conducted in three databases, in which original articles, experience reports, theses, dissertations and case studies were found, totaling 39 documents published between 2002 and 2022. Data analysis resulted in three categories: institutional strategies, formal teaching processes and continuing education strategies. Results show that many initiatives are still analogous to the logic of continuing education and poorly integrated with the teaching-service perspective, generating a need to promote continuing education actions in everyday work at all levels of healthcare.
