Abstract
The hospice certificate offered specifically for nurse aides who want to specialize in hospice and palliative care was developed by Cathy Walker for Red Rocks Community College. It is unique as hospice and palliative care usually is taught by hospice leaders in a community. It is composed of three courses. The format is hybrid as some of the curriculum fits nicely in an online environment while other material is more conducive to a face-to-face setting. Students are also given the opportunity to go into the field with hospice practitioners and see patients so they experience what it is like to be a hospice care giver.
Cathy Wagner, adjunct faculty, Red Rocks Community College (CO), presented this information to faculty working on the Consortium for Healthcare Education Online project at the CHEO Discipline Panel Faculty Professional Development Workshop – By Design: Taking ALL Allied Health Students Across the Finish Line, on May 15, 2015. The event was hosted by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) and was held at its SHEPC Learning Center in Boulder, CO. The CHEO project is funded by a U.S. Department of Labor Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant.
