Clinical Rotations and Internships

Striving for excellence.

Hospice of the Valley is committed to physician, nursing, and social work student education in our community. 

For physicians we offer a comprehensive palliative care rotation that provides local medical students, residents and fellows with an in-depth overview of the basic principles of hospice and palliative medicine. Rotations are individually tailored to meet the learning needs of specialties, including family practice, internal medicine and pediatrics. Schedules may include group orientations and visits with individual palliative care specialists (physician, RN, social worker or chaplain.)

Learners may also complete interactive online modules on the following palliative care topics: pain management, dyspnea, advance directives, dementia and delirium, and hospice care.

Nursing clinical opportunities are available to students attending a variety of program structures (eg. RN to BSN, FNP, MSN). We ask that you submit requests at least four weeks prior to the start date. These are reviewed on an individual basis and placement is subject to preceptor availability and submission of required immunization/rotation documents.

Masters-level social work students attending in-state CSWE-accredited and affiliated programs looking to complete their 2nd year or advanced-standing MSW internship, with a commitment of two semesters and traditional weekday availability, are invited to apply per the schedule below.

Applications for MSW internships are accepted for review during the following windows:
