We’ve made it easier to access your favorite Fast Facts Guidebooks! Thank you for your interest in the PCNOW Top Fast Facts guidebooks. These resources are no longer offered as downloadable PDFs — they’ve been moved online to make it easier for you to find and use the most up-to-date information.

Each collection now lives on its own dedicated landing page that includes:

  • All the Fast Facts previously included in the guidebook
  • Additional discipline-specific resources
  • Automatic updates as new Fast Facts are added and existing ones are revised

We’re excited to share this update as part of PCNOW’s 10th anniversary, continuing our mission to make high-quality palliative care education accessible to all.
