Cancer Care, Inc.

The End-of-Life Internet Forum

This teaching model will use the Internet to provide focused training in end-of-life care to master’s level graduate students and social work professionals. Participating students will be trained to provide informed and sensitive services to patients and their families during the end of life. This “virtual community” of students and professionals will be an ongoing forum for discussion, information sharing, and mutual support. Evaluation results will be used to improve the program in subsequent years, and to measure the efficacy of interactive online education as a training modality for social work students. Evaluation results will also be widely disseminated to other professionals and educators in the field, particularly those with a special interest in caring for the dying.
