From my student days at Duke Divinity School, I’ve always had an interest in how chaplains can incorporate end-of-life care into their ministry. As a co- founder of the nation’s largest hospice provider, I’m proud that VITAS is among the first hospice providers to offer a certified CPE program. Serving your clinical rotation in one of our hospice programs will be the most rewarding time of your pastoral education.

Hospice offers a
unique opportunity.
The level of intimacy
at the end of life
invites a vulnerability that is rich with
meaning and
profound explorations and spirituality.

Hospice offers a challenging and supportive environment for students. We’re confident you’ll learn more, grow more, experience more in one of our hospice programs than you will in most other settings due to the depth of personal encounter with life’s limits and possibilities.
