EPEC™-Oncology

Overview of EPEC™-Oncology

The Education in Palliative and End-of-Life Care for Oncology (EPEC™-O) Curriculum contained on this CD/DVD is a comprehensive curriculum in palliative and end-of-life care developed specifically for clinicians caring for persons with cancer. The curriculum, divided into 3 plenary sessions, 31 content modules, and 2 teaching skills modules, has a dual purpose:

  • To provide the practicing clinician with information and strategies necessary to provide palliative interventions to his/her patients.
  • To provide educational tools and materials to use in teaching the core competencies of palliative care to trainees.

The EPEC™-O curriculum was initially produced by the EPEC™ Project at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, with major funding provided by the National Cancer Institute and supplemental funding provided by the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The American Society of Clinical Oncology and the Oncology Nursing Society provide partnership support in dissemination of the EPEC™-O curriculum.
