Medical School – Palliative Care Education Project
GRANT AWARDEES ANNOUNCED
The Medical College of Wisconsin is leading a national curriculum initiative to activate, build and sustain medical student clinical education in palliative medicine. Led by Dr. David Weissman with collaborators at Dana Farber Cancer Institute at Harvard and the University of Rochester Medical Center, six schools have been selected from the 57 medical school applicants. Each school is assigned a national leader in palliative medicine education to provide guidance and mentoring to enhance the success of their palliative medicine curriculum initiatives.
Additional support will be provided through the EPERC Web site in the form of educational resource materials (e.g., resource guides, curriculum and instruction modules, evaluation tools and assessment instruments) over the 18-month award period.
To foster the development of leaders in palliative care education, one representative from each school will also attend the Program in Palliative Care
Education and Practice at Harvard (PCEP) to build additional expertise to compliment their school-specific palliative care education initiatives. This project is funded by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Congratulations to each of the six schools and their designated point of contact:
