Campus partners build awareness of palliative care through programs for students, faculty, health professionals, and caregivers in their communities.
What is a CSU Shiley Haynes Institute for Palliative Care Campus Partner?
The Institute’s pre-professional educational mission is achieved through a Campus Partner model. Campus Partner Offices are hosted on CSU campuses to ensure students in healthcare related disciplines understand and build skills in palliative care. Campus Partner Offices also engage their local community in serious illness care education and outreach.
- Disciplinary accreditors in nursing, social work, and speech and language pathology require competency in palliative care education. Therefore, building a community of palliative care leaders in the CSU ensures that students graduating from the aforementioned programs will have the necessary training to succeed in their professions.
- Under the leadership of a Faculty Director, the Campus Partner Office collaborates with the support of the Institute to develop palliative care education tailored to the specific needs of their own campus and local communities.
- The CSU is dedicated to educating current and future healthcare professionals and addressing the critical workforce needs. The CSU Shiley Haynes Institute for Palliative Care supports CSU campuses in meeting these goals within their own communities, while also promoting systemwide collaboration in palliative care education.
