On Hospice Training - day 6 you can read how a day in the face to face training goes.

I find it interesting that each hospice has specific educational tools for in person training and all I have found seem very good. The core courses, as taught in the online course are the basics for getting the advanced education you will receive in instructor based training.

The online training is an excellent guide to the history and philosophy of hospice, the infection control and confidentiality, etc. I feel it leaves room for more personalization in the classroom once the basics are covered.

The above mentioned post reflects the great information studied and learned as you get into the later stages of training
