ELNEC stands for End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium and is an education initiative created by the City of Hope and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. ELNEC courses are written for nurses by nurses. ELNEC Train-the-Trainer courses provide nurses with education in hospice and palliative nursing, preparing them to serve as instructors teaching this critical information to other nurses in the specialty.

Scholarships

The Hospice and Palliative Nurses Foundation offers up to eight scholarships annually for HPNA members to attend an HPNA-sponsored ELNEC Train-the-Trainer course. The scholarships for the Core or Pediatrics courses are open from June 1, 2025 through September 1, 2025.
