Unique programs for college students, professionals, caregivers, and the community
The CSU Shiley Haynes Institute for Palliative Care at CSUSM develops and hosts a wide range of programs to build awareness and improve access to palliative care in the San Diego region. The Institute’s signature “What Gives Your Life Meaning” campaign has received widespread acclaim. Held annually, it encourages people over 18 to think about what shapes their quality of life and to complete advanced directives that reflect those values.
“The Advanced Practice Certificate course is not clinical supervision, but is the closest thing to it that I’ve seen in a curriculum. It combines top-notch case-based learning with the very best clinical mentorship. Anyone who goes through the course and invests in their learning, should be well prepared for the certification exam.”
