March 2013- Palliative Care Volunteer Service

April 2015 Developed volunteer program for pharmacy students at SwedishAmerican Hospital

The intent of the program was for students to provide companionship to hospitalized

palliative care patients who did not have regular visitors. From the volunteer service,

students gained experience interacting with patients and developed communication

and listening skills

Students received formal orientation training from myself and hospital chaplain once

yearly in evening program at the college of pharmacy

Each year, the service had 4-8 regular volunteers

First visit with inpatient palliative care patient was supervised by myself; on subsequent visits, I provided students with a debriefing before and after visit.

Information learned by the student from the visit was also shared with palliative care

team to appropriately address unmet needs, including spiritual, existential, and

physical needs.
