Objective:
To evaluate a hospice-based advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE).
Design:
Two years of data gathered from student evaluation forms and reflective journals were analyzed.
Assessment:
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.
Conclusion:
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.
