| "Become an EPEC Trainer" Conference | Professional Development Workshop (PDW) |
 The "Become an EPEC Trainer" Conference
is a two-day conference for participants who want to become EPEC
trainers in order to teach the essential clinical competencies of
palliative care to others. Topics covered include symptom management,
communication skills, and ethics relevant to palliative care.
Participants are exposed to a variety of education techniques based on
adult learning principles, including interactive lecture, role play,
and case-based teaching. In addition, participants receive EPEC
educational materials including the EPEC Curriculum, PowerPoint
slides, and trigger videos. Upon completion of the conference,
participants are designated as EPEC Trainers and are encouraged to use
their knowledge and skills to educate fellow clinicians in the core
competencies of palliative and end-of-life care.Past conferences have offered specialty tracks in EPEC - Oncology and EPEC - Emergency Medicine. For more information about specialty tracks available this year, please refer to the conference dates listed at the top of this page. |
 The Professional Development Workshop (PDW)
takes place immediately following the ‘Become an EPEC Trainer’
Conference. This two-day workshop is intended to familiarize
participants with the theory and practice of adult learning and
clinical practice improvement. Individuals who want to further enhance
their teaching and leadership skills are welcome at this workshop. Day 1
of the PDW focuses on improving teaching skills. Attendees will first
learn about teaching methods in didactic sessions and will then
participate in hands-on practice techniques. Day 2 of the PDW emphasizes
practice improvement and includes practical exercises that demonstrate
the skills of team building, systems research, and advocacy.
Participation in a PDW is necessary for those who aspire to the
position of EPEC Master Facilitator. Participants can opt to enroll for
the first day if the goal is to improve teaching skills, or they can
enroll for both days if they also want to learn practice improvement
methods.

“I think all physicians should be required to attend such a conference. I believe it would make them better practitioners. We would see an increase in family and patient satisfaction.”
“I think it would be hard to attend [the conference] and not be changed by it.”
“The course and materials have given me the motivation to get out of my busy office and share with my colleagues from a fund of knowledge I’ve obtained in hospice care for the past 10-12 years.”
