The Comprehensive Advanced Palliative Care Education (CAPCE) program is designed to improve the skill and knowledge of nurses across all health care sectors to become Resource Professionals in their place of employment . The program is designed to align with the Model to Guide Hospice Palliative Care: Based on National Principles and Norms of Practice (CHPCA 2002) There is a selection process that engages both the nurse and his/her management.

This CAPCE Program is a detailed, 7 month (120 hours) program that includes 6 all day sessions, a new Resource Guide in Hospice Palliative Care, mentorship, application of newly learned skills at work and a project to be implemented within their workplace.
