Offering: Education for Physicians on End-of-Life Care (EPEC) Series Lecture To discuss scheduling one or more of the EPEC Module presentations, please call Dr. Beatrice Hernandez. For healthcare institutions, these lectures meet the requirement for CME accreditations.		Guiding Vision: Education for Physicians on End-of-Life Care (EPEC) is a series of lectures developed as learning modules for physicians and other healthcare providers who care for patients at the end of life. Although based on the modules developed by the American Medical Association’s End-of-Life Care research team, the modules I present have been modified to reflect my personal experience of more than 25 years of caring for terminally ill patients as a cancer specialist. I hope these talks will inspire us all to listen and respond to each person’s unique journey through the final stages of life.
