After pioneering the bone marrow transplantation procedures implementation in the transplantation team at the University Clinical Center Ljubljana, she shifted her career towards development of palliative care. With her colleagues she founded the Palliative Care Development Institute Ljubljana in 2000. She is particularly interested in the education of communication in palliative care, where she&#8217;s developed innovative teaching models with experiential interactive learning and role playing. Through her work at the Palliative Care Development Institute Ljubljana, Dr. Lunder is committed to establishing palliative care teams and units in Slovenia&#8217; major health care institutions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipcrc.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/urska-lunder-ljubljana-slovenia-dec-2011.pdf\" class=\"popup pdf\">Download and Read Urska&#8217;s Personal Story <span>(343 KB)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Other Appointments<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>President, Slovenian Palliative Medicine Society<br \/>\nInvited Faculty, University Ljubljana, Medical University<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Key Accomplishments<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Public Campaign Lead, raising awareness about palliative care through published patients&#8217; stories, 2010<\/li>\n<li>Appointed as a professional lead in a Pilot project at the Ministry for Health of Implementing High-quality Palliative Care into three regions in Slovenia, 2009-2010<\/li>\n<li>National lead and a collaborator in the EU 7th Framework Support\/Collaboration Project \u2013 OPCARE9 with aim of optimizing care for cancer patients in the last days of life, 2008-2011<\/li>\n<li>Member, International OPCARE9 Research Consortium<\/li>\n<li>Member, International Reference Group for the development and implementation of the Liverpool Care Pathway for the Dying Patient<\/li>\n<li>Past President, Professional Advising Committee for Palliative Care at the Ministry of Health<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Education \/ Honors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Leader, International Palliative Care Leadership Development Initiative, The Institute for Palliative Medicine at San Diego Hospice, San Diego, CA, USA, 2010-2011<\/li>\n<li>Fellow, International Palliative Medicine Fellowship, Institute for Palliative Medicine at San Diego Hospice, 2007-2009<\/li>\n<li>Post-graduate training, International Policy Fellowship,  Central European University Budapest, 2004-2005<\/li>\n<li>Specialist in Transfusiology with Hematology, University Ljubljana, Medical Faculty, 1989<\/li>\n<li>Medical Degree, University Ljubljana, Medical Faculty, 1984<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><div id=\"section-p-88\" class=\"more_txt_container\"><p class=\"open_links\"><\/p>\n<h2>Key Publications<br \/>\n<small>Journal articles<\/small><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>LUNDER, Ur\u0161ka, FURLAN, Maja, SIMONI\u010c, Anja.
