The
Comprehensive Advanced Palliative Care Education (CAPCE) program
includes up-to-date, best practice and evidence-informed palliative
care knowledge, utilizing the innovative Partnering for Palliative
Education learning environment, powered by D2L Brightspace.
Due to continuous changes in hospice and palliative care, we
recommend re-taking CAPCE every five years.
