The Education in Palliative and End-of-Life Care Project (EPEC) mission is to educate all healthcare professionals on the essential clinical competencies in palliative care. 

To that end, The EPEC Project offers two types of conferences - "Become An EPEC Trainer" conference to achieve certification as an EPEC Trainer, and to then teach others core skills in palliative care; and the "Professional Development Workshop," to enhance teaching and leadership skills. The Professional Development Workshop is also necessary for those who wish to be a candidate for becoming a Master Facilitator in The EPEC Project.

Curriculum in its entirety or in part may be used at any time for educational purposes, for any audience and any venue providing it is used for non-profit purposes with proper attribution. Institutions and other groups, including medical and professional societies, caregiver groups, or individuals may utilize the curriculum materials.
