Education & Resources
Medical Resident EducationHospice of the Valley offers a comprehensive palliative care rotation that provides local residents and fellows with an in-depth overview of the basic principles of hospice and palliative medicine. The rotation is individually tailored to meet the learning needs of the individual residency specialties (e.g. family practice, internal medicine, psychiatry, pediatrics). Schedules include a formal group orientation, field visits with individual palliative care specialists (e.g. physician, RN case coordinator, social worker, and chaplain), and completion of interactive online modules on the following palliative care topics: pain management, dyspnea, advance directives, dementia and delirium, cultural differences, substance abuse, personality disorders and hospice care. Post-Survey Online Modules: Note to Participants: As you go through the modules, you will learn more if you click on the incorrect answers even after you have found the correct answer. You are only evaluated on the post-test, not your responses during the module itself. We encourage you to look at all answers, since the pop-ups are educational.
