Pediatric Palliative Care Training and Education

Pediatric Palliative Care Education

This rich array of self-paced online courses provides pediatric specialists, or hospice, palliative care, and home health professionals serving patients of all ages, with comprehensive skills and strategies needed to effectively care for seriously ill infants, children, teens, and young adults, and their families.

Pediatric palliative care differs significantly from palliative care for adults in myriad ways, especially as end of life approaches. These courses – which can be taken individually or as full Certificate programs – are designed to help clinicians gain confidence and expertise in caring for young patients with serious or terminal illness.
