End of Life Care Resources End of Life Physician Education Resource Center www.eperc.mcw.edu The Medical College of Wisconsin created and operates this web site. The purpose of EPERC is to assist physician educators and others in locating high-quality, peer-reviewed training materials. This Web site supports the identification and dissemination of information on EOL training materials, publications, conferences, and other opportunities. Physicians will need to register (free) and create a login and password for access. EPERC is supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The "Fast Facts" section has printable resources that you can access at no charge for educational purposes. Some are ideal for providers, some are for patients, some are for caregivers, We recommend the following: For providers' education: 5, 16, 18, 21, 23, 24, 29 For patient education: 12, 32, 35 For caregivers' education and support: 22, 29, 32 The EPEC Project – Educating Physicians in End of Life Care www.epec.net The EPEC project comes from the Institute for Ethics at the American Medical Association and is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The EPEC Web site is complete with free downloads in both .pdf and Power Point formats to educate physicians in the various facets in caring for patients facing end of life. Physicians can be trained to train others in the community to provide compassionate comprehensive end of life care. To access the provider training handbook with various modules, go to http://www.epec.net/content/participantshandbook.html This toolkit focuses on the information from Module 2 - Communicating Bad News, to provide insight on the delicate process of informing a patient and/or family about a terminal matter. Members are encouraged to access the resources at EPEC for information in the many facets of end of life care. |
