An international task force was established by the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC) to work on recommendations for the development of curricula on undergraduate and postgraduate medical education in palliative care.
For the field of undergraduate medical education and training, the present document "Recommendations of the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC) for the Development of Undergraduate Curricula in Palliative Medicine at European Medical Schools" has been prepared, also as an update of the former document “Curriculum in Palliative Care for Undergraduate Medical Education” which was published in December 2007.
The task force now decided to change the title of the document, especially, to make clear that these are recommendations rather than a concrete curriculum, therefore leaving the adaptation of the contents and suggested teaching methods to the responsible persons in particular local or national settings according to their situation and resources.
