I. INTRODUCTION

Providing comprehensive palliative care is a global challenge, particularly in resource-limited settings like Indonesia (Putranto et al., 2017). Palliative care education in Indonesia is often underrepresented in medical curricula, leading to gaps in understanding and application among future healthcare professionals. This issue is compounded by the dominance of lecture-based classrooms from elementary to high school in Southeast Asia, including most medical education in Indonesia. Implementing a flipped classroom approach, which reverses traditional lecture-based and promotes active learning, could transform the education of healthcare professionals by effectively integrating surgery and palliative care within the Indonesian context (Hew & Lo, 2018).
