Advanced Practice Palliative Care Nursing Campus Certificate

About the Program

The Advanced Practice Palliative Care Nursing Campus Certificate is sponsored by the UIC College of Nursing and has been developed to educate nurses to better meet the needs of caring for patients who are seriously ill and dying and who require end-of-life and palliative care treatment. It is grounded in a holistic perspective that recognizes that the individual is part of a family, a community and a society.

Master Students Dual Certificate

Master's students will enroll in one of the following programs at the UIC College of Nursing. They will declare a specialized concentration in palliative and end-of-life-care. Students electing to take the three additional online courses will have to have at least one of their clinical practicum courses in a palliative care setting.

Post-master's palliative care students will take the three online palliative care courses and will need to find their own clinical hours for credentialing (work hours may be acceptable).
