Thank you. As a new clinician to this specialty, I felt exquisitely card for during this week. Meaning, I felt that every presenter truly cared about the quality of my education and experience during this week.

Coming into the course, my palliative care knowledge was minimal at best so I left on Monday afternoon feeling overwhelmed; however, by mid-morning on Tuesday, I was beginning to see “the light”. As the week progressed, I saw, more and more how palliative care is not only a possibility in my small community but also a pressing need. Now the challenge becomes fitting this knowledge into South Carolina’s regulations and offering PC to my community.

The course material/time was intense, but I found the experience rewarding and enlightening for what Hospice/Palliative Care providers do. I appreciated the enthusiasm of Dr. Bull/Dr. Morris as moderators, kept the people engaged. The “role playing” was difficult at times, “but” helpful to emphasize the points made during the lectures. Incidentally, I think I have gained “5 lbs” this week with the snacks, lunches, etc., (please don’t receive this as a complaint)! 

What a privilege it has been to be able to attend such an incredible course. All of the instructors were so knowledgeable, caring & compassionate about the field of palliative care and hospice. The course was very comprehensive and applicable to multiple disciplines in healthcare. The role playing activities were incredibly useful to help apply the concepts discussed throughout the course. I will take back so much information to my colleagues and would recommend this course to all of my NP/PA/CNS colleagues working in oncology with a special interest in palliative care.

I’m so glad my job sent me to this course. As a nurse practitioner new to palliative care, this course has been extremely informative. Dr. Bull, Dr. Morris and all of the speakers were very knowledgeable and demonstrated expertise in palliative care. I would recommend this course to providers new to palliative care and providers that aren’t new to palliative care but haven’t attended this course before. I’m so excited to start implementing all that I learned into my daily work.
