The Education in Palliative and End-of-Life Care (EPEC)-Pediatrics program is now the most comprehensive PPC curriculum and education dissemination project worldwide. The EPEC-Pediatrics Train-the-Trainer course has been offered since 2012 to 1,517 clinicians from 100 countries (Postier et al., 2021). Originally funded by a $1.6 USD million NIH/NCI grant between 2010-2017 (PI: Stefan Friedrichsdorf, MD), this extensive curriculum was designed to address the needs of seriously ill children, their families, pediatric hematology/oncology providers, and other pediatric clinicians. The curriculum includes 24 pediatric palliative care modules, 18 of which are available online. The curriculum aims to improve knowledge, attitude, and skills in key areas of PPC and to prepare participants to teach PPC in their own environments. This CME application is being submitted specifically for the online module component (enduring materials). Participants who complete the taught course (Train-the-Trainer or End User) will be given access to the online curriculum, and Trainers who attend the Train-the-Trainer course are required to complete the full online curriculum in order to become EPEC-Pediatrics Trainers and to gain access to the EPEC-Pediatrics teaching materials (teaching guides, PowerPoint templates, and trigger videos). Participants who attend an End User taught course will be given access to the online curriculum but there is no completion requirement nor EPEC-Pediatrics Trainer certification. The online curriculum will be continue to be available to past and future EPEC-Pediatrics course participants 24/7. We will also offer a separate option for anyone to purchase individual online modules via the training platform or as a package with a discount price (i.e., all 18).
