title: Introducing hospice into allied health curricula: a challenge for educators.
abstract: Including hospice, as a concept of care, into existing allied health curricula is very important. Hospice should be integrated into the curricula of allied health programs. In addition to offering courses on hospice care, there are many novel ideas for exposing students to aspects of hospice care including grand rounds, self-instruction packets, journal clubs, honors program presentations, monthly forums, and clerkships. Federal funding is important to support and develop hospice training as well as other resources.
