Each month, we publish a limited selection of items that we feel will be of interest to our global readership. Content is welcomed but please observe the criteria for inclusion:


Free online video training resources for caregivers and healthcare professionals

Throughout the senior care world, there is a constant need for quality and consistent training tools to engage caregivers and ensure that they’re well-equipped to deliver the best care possible. When it comes to palliative care, mmLearn.org, a primarily free nonprofit web-based video training resource, provides an opportunity for essential training and continuing education. mmLearn.org creates informative videos based on real world experiences to better educate caregivers, and the organization makes them easily available 24 hours a day.

On average, mmLearn.org creates three to five new videos in-house weekly, and the public can access 300+ videos at any time online. The organization’s goal is to impact as many lives as possible. They know training can be costly, but this resource is free and extremely beneficial as part of an overall training program.

More information about palliative care resources available from mmLearn.org.
