Continuing Medical EducationPurposeThe UNIPACs are a series of books formatted as an independent-study program. They include practical clinical scenarios to orient the reader to the material, educational content, and references. This independent-study program is intended for hospice and palliative care practitioners and practitioners-in-training. They are designed to increase competence in palliative medical interventions for improving a patient's quality of life. Specific, practical information is presented to help physicians and other practitioners assess and manage selected problems. After reading the UNIPAC, practitioners are encouraged to complete a separate online amplifire™ module. Physicians may only obtain AMA PRA Category 1TM credits by completing this module. The learner will be able to complete each amplifire™ module one full time - until the content is mastered (all questions are answered correctly and confidently two times). Once mastery is achieved, the learner will be able to review the content for the life of the product (April 30, 2015).
