Pediatric Palliative Care Training and Education

Pediatric Palliative Care Education

Palliative care, hospice, and home health professionals who typically care for adult patients now have a rich array of self-paced online courses providing 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 assist clinicians who typically care for adults in gaining confidence and expertise in caring for younger patients and their families.
