Community Wide Orientation
Page Content
The El Paso Educators' Council (EPEC) includes representatives from the Education Departments of healthcare facilities and from academic institutions offering health programs in the region. We meet quarterly to collaborate, network, and address the educational needs of regional healthcare facilities. To ensure compliance with various standards, regulations, and mandates, the Community-Wide Orientation was developed. Facility-specific differences will be covered at each location before the start of a clinical rotation.
