The University of Maryland, Baltimore celebrated 43 graduates of the online Graduate Studies in Palliative Care in a summer ceremony at Pharmacy Hall on Aug. 9.
Of the Class of 2024, 36 received their Master of Science degree and seven received a graduate certificate. Two members of the class completed a dual degree along with their Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree, which they received in May from the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy.
The graduates, most of whom work full time, have spent the last few years learning virtually during their time outside of work and family responsibilities. The online program trains individuals to work in hospice or palliative care to improve the quality of lives of patients and families affected by serious illness by understanding their physical, psychological, spiritual, and social needs. The program attracts a diverse range of disciplines in health care, such as physicians, nurses, and chaplains.
