| Robert Truog, MD, Director of IPEP |
We are pleased to announce that the success and growth of the Program to Enhance Relational & Communication Skills (PERCS) has led to the establishment of the Institute for Professionalism & Ethical Practice (IPEP) at Children's Hospital Boston.
What we do
Since 2002, our team has been pioneering innovative educational strategies to address clinicians' communication skills and relational capacities.
With increased funding and hospital support, IPEP will add administrative support, enhance its research programs and expand its educational offerings to clinicians at Children's and beyond. A new and expanded website will be available soon!
