FREE Courses for Hospice Professionals

Be sure to read specific requirements and registration needs before you proceed with these units. They may differ in accordance to your specific State Registration requirements.

Be Patient and Explore! You may need to navigate down the list for courses that would be in your best interest or need. Professional disciplines or categories of studies are not in any specific order.

For courses that have no associated professional credits, you may opt to print out a "Declaration of Participation" Statement that you and your employer may file as validation of it's completion. This may be appropriate for courses that need to be taken as "core requirements" at your place of employment (per state regulations).

Be aware, approval of this validation must be congenial to your employer's policies and guidelines, and your State's requirements.

Have fun!!
