Abstract

The “Fast Facts Index” from the End of Life/Palliative Education Resource Centre (EPERC), Medical College of Wisconsin (http://www.eperc.mcw.edu/ff_index.htm) is intended for educators and clinicians, and has 130 peer-reviewed, one-page outlines of important end-of-life clinical topics. EPERC has “been designed for use by medical school course/clerkship directors, residency and continuing education program directors.” Major categories in end-of-life/palliative education include: pain, nonpain symptoms, communications skills, ethics, terminal care, and clinical interventions used near the end-of-life.
