The goal of the CEPEC curriculum is to graduate medical students who possess the knowledge, attitudes, and skills required to assess effectively the end-of-life care needs of individuals with cancer and their families and to enable them to provide comprehensive, individualized, and measurable end-of-life care prescriptions that foster quality of life. The curriculum is organized around four domains.
Clinical: Symptom Management, Treatment and Outcomes
Philosophical: Palliative and End-of-life Care, Ethical Issues/Advance Directives
Planning: Financial Aspects of Hospice/End-of-life Care
