An interprofessional program designed for physicians, pharmacists, nurses, physician assistants, social workers, administrators, researchers, and others, the PhD in Palliative Care aims to develop outstanding researchers in palliative care, while concurrently honing skills in leadership, education, and engagement in the profession and the palliative care community. Graduates will be well-equipped for positions in academia, leading tertiary care or palliative care centers, leading granting/funding institutions and foundations associated with palliative care, and working with accountable care organizations to identify patients who would benefit from palliative care. Prerequisites include either a master of science degree in palliative care, or a master of science degree or higher in a pertinent field plus palliative care experience and current employment. Reasonable tuition rates. 36 credits beyond the masters degree. Dissertation required. |
