Education

Suncoast Institute was the first and continues to be the only practice-based institute for hospice and palliative care education, research, consultation and innovation.

We understand that care models and systems can be improved through purposeful research and study.  Suncoast Hospice established this division to assure that hospice and palliative care organizations have the tools they need to provide optimal care and services.

Our educational programs, training materials and resources are for hospices, health systems, home health, long term care and human service providers. They are based on a proven track record of quality driven care and expierience spanning more than 30 years.

Course studies and training programs are available in a variety of formats.

  • Webinars - This technology allows the participant to sit at his or her own computer and be connected to other participants via the Internet. It is typically "one-way," from the speaker to the audience with limited interaction.
  • Learning Management System (LMS)- This is another web-based tool to facilitate the delivery, tracking, managing of training and education. The LMS software makes it possible to distribute course work over the Internet and features online collaboration.
  • Print Materials - The Institute has compiled thousands of pages of research materials and makes them available to hospice organizations everywhere. As pioneers in the field of end-of-life medicine, The Hospice of the Florida Suncoast has current information and concurrent training for every detail of the operation of a hospice.
  • Programs - The Institute will prepare a training and education program specifically for you, just give us a call.
