Four national palliative care externship sites have been selected as part of the newly created Palliative Care APRN Externship. These locations and faculty are listed below, and all expect to begin offering courses in 2018. The Medical University of South Carolina will serve as the clinical leadership site.
The Palliative Care APRN Externship is a week-long mentored immersion course for APRNs, and is intended to provide primary palliative care education to APRNs from any setting. These sites were selected based on maturity, depth, collaborative partnership, and commitment to palliative advanced practice nursing education.
