| Description | The interprofessional Graduate Certificate in Palliative Care is jointly offered through the UW Schools of Nursing and Medicine and is co-sponsored by the Cambia Palliative Center of Excellence. It is designed for health care providers from nursing, medicine, social work, spiritual care and other disciplines seeking to deliver high quality, integrated, person-centered palliative care. This curriculum is now 100% online and uses several teaching modalities, including weekly interactive distance learning, online modules, peer and faculty mentoring with world-renowned expert faculty, and quarterly in-person workshops which focus on intensive skills practice in serious news communication, interprofessional teams and managing conflict, and creating a pitch for a new palliative care project. The curriculum supports participants in developing their expertise in three key areas of palliative care practice: person-centered communication, interprofessional team training, and program development and sustainability. |
