The Palliative Care Capstone Projects program is for students who want to learn about palliative care. It's a non-degree program that takes place online and is taught in English. The program helps students gain skills in a short amount of time, usually a few weeks.

This program covers specific subjects like palliative care and helps students develop skills in caring for patients. Students will work on projects to help them learn and grow. They will also learn how to work with patients and their families.

After completing this program, students can work as palliative care assistants, healthcare coordinators, patient advocates, or social workers. They can work in hospitals, nursing homes, or other healthcare settings. Students will be able to help patients and their families during difficult times.
