Medical School - Palliative Care Education Project
Building on the success of the original grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to recruit and mentor six U.S. medical schools interested in improving palliative care education for 3rd/4th year medical students, the Medical College of Wisconsin’s End of Life/Palliative Education Resource Center (EPERC) announces a call for applications to participate in the second cycle of this project funded by the Y.C. Ho/Helen and Michael Chiang Foundation.
Six schools will again be selected through a competitive application process. Two of the six schools awarded will be from the Mid-Atlantic region consistent with the priorities of the funder, specifically defined as schools in New York City; Long Island; Westchester County, New York; the states of New Jersey and Connecticut; and the city of Philadelphia, PA.
The EPERC Website (www.eperc.mcw.edu) provides project details and application packet for medical schools interested in participating in this curriculum enhancement project.
Project Goals:
- The development of a self-sustaining required and an elective palliative care didactic and experiential training opportunity for 3rd or 4th year medical students
- The establishment a faculty development program for existing and new faculty in palliative care.
Each of the six funded schools will receive a $36,000 award to support curriculum development.
The project is directed by Drs. David Weissman, Susan Block, Timothy Quill and Deborah Simpson.
