Background Palliative care is a human right to which all people should have access, however pediatric and neonatal palliative care resources are limited in India. Design and Methods A quantitative one-arm pre-test / post-test and descriptive correlational design was used to determine the impact of an interprofessional pediatric and neonatal palliative care specialty education and simulation program among health providers and ancillary support team in India. Results Post-intervention scores were significantly higher than pre-intervention scores for self-assessment, education assessment, and knowledge assessment of the healthcare team. The mean score of barriers to palliative care utilization had no significant difference between the pre- and post-intervention. Conclusion Nurses in India are ready and interested in improving pediatric and neonatal palliative care outcomes and favored interprofessional simulation as a teaching and learning strategy. Results indicated the specialty education and simulation program was effective in improving pediatric and neonatal health capacity among an interprofessional healthcare team in India. This study highlights the need for effective, structured programs to build pediatric and neonatal palliative care capacity in India.
