This initiative came out of APA's Ad Hoc Committee on End of Life Issues that I was a part of. We received an SBIR grant to develop 10 modules for psychologists interested in end of life care.
We are looking for people to participate in the evaluation study, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a web based version of the modules, versus a more traditional home study approach.
We have an excellent lineup of presenters who prepared these modules.
If you are interested see below, there will be a limited number of participants included in this free phase of the CE program, eventually it will be offered online for a fee.

PS-the announcement says Masters Level but they want Masters Level and above.
Do you provide psychological care to
dying patients and their families?
Are your skills up-to-date with the latest
research on end-of-life care?
eNURSING llc and the American Psychological Association (APA)
are seeking master's level counselors, psychologists, nurses, psychiatric
nurses, and other mental health providers to compare the effectiveness of a
Web-based interactive program and a traditional home study program on
End of Life Issues for Mental Health Providers. Study participants will be
randomly assigned to one of the two learning conditions.
The APA will offer 20 continuing education credits for completing the
entire 10-module program. Module titles are:
* Overview of End-of-Life Issues for the Mental Health Provider
* Diagnosis & Treatment of Psychological Distress Near the End of Life
* Diagnosis and Treatment of Pain at the End of Life
* Diagnosis and Treatment of Cognitive Changes at End of Life
* Grief & Bereavement
* Spiritual Issues at the End of Life
* Family Caregiving Issues at the End of Life
* Teamwork in End-of-Life Care
* Law & Ethics Associated With Care at the End of Life
* Advance Care Planning at the End of Life
CE fees will be waived for study participants.
