Commitment to Educating Future Healthcare Providers

Empowering Future Healthcare Providers through Hospice Education

At Hospice El Paso, we are dedicated to nurturing the education and professional development of the next generation of healthcare providers. We collaborate with esteemed academic institutions such as:

University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP)

Western Technical College

Southwest University

Texas Tech University Foster School of Medicine

Through our preceptorship programs, we offer nursing and medical students hands-on experience in hospice care, allowing them to gain invaluable insights into the compassionate, holistic approach that defines hospice. This experience emphasizes not only the physical, but also the emotional and spiritual needs of patients at the end of life.

Hands-On Learning with Experienced Hospice Professionals

Students work directly with our team of seasoned hospice professionals, including:

Hospice nurses
Hospice medical social workers
Hospice chaplains

These professionals guide students through the critical aspects of hospice care, including symptom management, patient support, and the profound impact hospice care has on both patients and their families.

Together, we ensure that future healthcare providers are equipped to offer the compassionate care patients and families deserve.

Bridging the Gap in Medical Training

Our collaboration with academic institutions bridges the gap between traditional medical education and the specialized skills required in palliative and hospice care. By partnering with these institutions, we are shaping compassionate healthcare providers who understand the vital importance of dignity, comfort, and quality of life in the face of serious illness.
