title: A hospice-based advanced pharmacy experience.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate a hospice-based advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE).
  
  
  METHODS
  Two years of data gathered from student evaluation forms and reflective journals were analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Students completed reflective journals and expressed a high level of satisfaction with the hospice-based learning experience. They gained a better understanding of end-of-life care provided by a hospice and the pharmacist's role in optimizing supportive care for patients receiving hospice care.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Hospice-based APPEs can provide a rich interdisciplinary learning environment for pharmacy students interested in developing knowledge, attitudes, and skills to effectively manage the pharmacotherapy of patients receiving end-of-life care.
