History
IPCI was formed with the help of funding from the National Cancer Institute to develop the first research-tested program of online CE/CME for health professionals on transforming the culture of care. In exciting findings soon to be published, a randomized controlled trial found the program to significantly increase key practice behaviors that advance the delivery of integrative care. Our work is also informed by our years of other NIH-sponsored research, program development in the Veterans Health Administration system and other organizations, and clinical experience in integrative oncology and other palliative care settings. Our education offerings for professionals and the public include collaborations with expert guest faculty and leaders in the field.
Vision
The vision of IPCI is to serve as a leading resource for transforming the global culture of palliative care for the benefit of patients, families, providers, organizations and society.
Mission
Our mission is to advance the paradigm of Integrative Palliative Care through evidence-based education and resources for service planning and delivery.
