This article describes a 3-day nurse preceptorship education program in cancer pain and palliative medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). The program includes experiential and didactic information, skills development, and assistance with planning for institutional change in the delivery of health care services. The education program is centered around five teaching modules: pain, nonpain symptoms, hospice, nursing professional issues, and palliative care. Evaluation data from a recent cohort of 23 nurses demonstrate that learning and personal objectives were met to a high degree of satisfaction.
