End of Life Curriculum Project

Project Overview

The End of Life Curriculum Project is a joint project of the US Veterans Administration Palliative Care Network and SUMMIT at Stanford University School of Medicine and is funded by the National Institutes of Health.

The goals of this project are to design, develop, implement and evaluate web-based End of Life and Palliative Care curriculum.

Intended users are any member of a palliative care team, including medical students, residents, fellows, physicians, social workers, psychologists, and chaplains. A key component of the design is that the course can be completed entirely in self-study mode.
