Our Origin

Responsive to the needs of an evolving health care environment

The Coleman Palliative Medicine Training Program was established in 2012 thanks to a generous grant from the Coleman Foundation. A small, committed team of Chicago area palliative care leaders with a vision to improve palliative care services and expand access for patients, developed a 2-year training program for Chicago area physicians and nurses. Over the years, in response to the national shortage of trained palliative care providers and with renewed funding from the Coleman Foundation, our programs expanded. Today we to offer an array of courses and programs for physicians, nurses, advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, social workers, chaplains, psychologists, pharmacists, and occupational and physical therapists. We welcome all learners from near and far.

There is no more powerful tool for learning than watching experts demonstrating their skills in real life situations. I took away many new skills that I use on a daily basis.

The networking and relationships with peers in other institutions was good for patient care and outcomes, as we shared patients often and therefore cross-consulted each other.

The Coleman Palliative Medicine Training Program was the jumping off point for developing a new clinical program, a new educational curriculum and real culture change at our institution.
