requirements for degree in palliative care
Master's Degree in Palliative Care. Although somewhat rare, master's degree programs are available for students learning to be advanced practice nurses, nurse practitioners or clinical nurse specialists who want training in hospice and palliative care.
Post-master's certificate programs in palliative care are for nurse practitioners who have already earned a master's degree and want to specialize in end-of-life care. While students learn to assess and manage the care of patients with terminal illnesses, they are also taught ways to work with affected families.
