Participating in the Palliative Care Learning Center training at UCSF has been a wonderful experience for our system. The preparation materials that they provide before the actual training, the multiple day training and the follow up mentoring phone sessions have all been so valuable in helping us develop our program. I highly recommend affilitation with one of the training centers if that is possible for your steering committee.

I started up my hospital's Palliative Care program 2 years ago. I would also strongly encourage you, along with other key stakeholders at your institution, to attend training at a PCLC. Try to match up your type of hospital with the PCLC that most closely matches. For example I chose to attend the training at Mt. Carmel Health System in Ohio, because, like my hospital, it was part of a multiple hospital system and had other qualities that were similar. If at all possible, do not go alone, try to take at least 3 other people from your hospital with you.
