PCLC is based on two key components:

1) Hands-On Training

The PCLC experience starts with two days of intensive, hands-on training, at any one of six PCLCs. You will receive expert instruction, technical assistance and feedback focused on your institution. And you will leave with the knowledge and tools you need to:

• Develop and implement your own strategic plan
• Select from among various organizational models
• Develop effective staffing plans
• Collect, interpret and present financial and clinical data to make a case for your program and to evaluate outcomes
• Implement marketing strategies to promote and grow your program

2) A Full Year of Mentoring

After your on-site training, the PCLC faculty continues to provide one-on-one assistance for a full year to help you grow your specific program, including:

• Structured support via e-mail and phone to answer your questions and offer recommendations
• A copy of A Guide to Building a Hospital-Based Palliative Care Program
• Opportunities to meet with your mentors at national meetings

Tuition

• $3,500 per team (not per person) of up to four people from one institution
• $3,250 per team (not per person) for those that include a hospital finance person as a member
• $200 per each additional person after the fourth
  (Teams larger than four are welcome)
