Welcome to the PERT Program, an educational research project funded by the National Cancer Institute (a division of the NIH) and supported by Swedish Medical Center. The goal of the PERT Program is to enhance end-of-life care in long-term care facilities. To achieve this goal, the PERT Program has developed a comprehensive curriculum of educational materials and resources.
The PERT Curriculum has been used in hundreds of trainings and in-services by nursing educators throughout the world, and has garnered ovewhelmingly positive feedback. The curriclum has been incorporated into the educational training materials offered by the End-of-life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC).
