Multidisciplinary Certificate in Pediatric Palliative Care

While palliative care is designed to ease suffering in patients at any age and stage of serious illness, caring for pediatric patients differs significantly from palliative care for adults and requires an extra level of skill. Designed for social workers, chaplains, child life specialists, and other team members, our Pediatric Palliative Care Certificate curriculum features rigorous, interactive online education for hospice, palliative care, and home health professionals to get the knowledge and skills they need to effectively support infants, children, teens, and young adults with serious illnesses.
