Many physician-educators have expressed a desire to educate other physicians regarding palliative medicine and hospice. An example would be using the materials such as from The EPEC Project (Education in Palliative and End-of-life Care). If your hospital or local medical society can accredit presentations for CME, these are the best means to pursue getting programs accredited. However, in many places across Texas, especially rural or smaller cities, such resources simply do not exist. TAPM has members who volunteer to help process applications through the American Academy of Family Physicians, in order to get such presentations accredited. There services are only available to members of TAPM and must involve topics related to palliative medicine or hospice. This service is not free and rules regarding commercial support must be strictly followed in order to meet the requirements for CME accreditation. These rules continually undergo revision, and anyone making application must comply with the ACCME's Standards for Commercial Support. Please look over the attached documents to see if TAPM's services might meet your needs. Please be aware that applications must be received no later than 6-weeks prior to the presentation. First-time applicants are encouraged to apply even earlier. Please call (512-857-1233) or email TAPM with any questions regarding this process. The following documents are
