EAPC Taskforceon medical education
The EAPC Board considers the Education about palliative medicine at University of utmost importance for the future of palliative care, and decided to carry out a survey on the state of the art of education for physicians in Europe.
There is a growing awareness by the public in Palliative Medicine and increasing recognition among health care professionals. In many European countries it has been nurtured from pioneer days to a healthy and thriving community. Palliative care in Europe has grown up and is on its way to become a specialty of its own.
In order to do this, specialist training is required. With the Recommendations of the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC) for the Development of postgraduate Curricula leading to Certification in Palliative Medicine, the Taskforce on Physician Education of the European Association for Palliative Care presents a framework on postgraduate education. It is a logical sequence to the undergraduate curriculum which was presented by the taskforce four years ago.
