Agrace's Commitment to Learning

Agrace fosters a culture of learning. We know the hands-on training we provide to clinicians and students today will shape the future of hospice and palliative care. Every year, more than 200 students spend 10,000+ hours learning alongside experienced Agrace clinicians.

Students who come to Agrace Hospice Care for a clinical experience will be immersed in observing and providing the high-quality end-of-life care we offer our patients and their families. They can build their skills by caring for patients with a variety of medical conditions and levels of acuity.

Depending on their role, students can expect a wide range of essential clinical learning opportunities, including:

  • Epic documentation;
  • collaboration with an interdisciplinary team;
  • hands-on learning in our Skills Lab for safe patient handling (using equipment and mannequins to practice giving bed baths, completing blood draws, measuring vital signs, etc.)
  • and much more!

Student Interest Form

Anyone interested in clinical experiences with Agrace must be enrolled in an educational program with an accredited university. We do our best to accommodate as many requests as possible.
