Four national externship sites have been selected as part of the newly created Palliative Care APRN Externship, according to the program’s director Constance Dahlin, MSN, ANP-BC, ACHPN, FPCN, FAAN. These locations and faculty are listed below, and all expect to begin offering courses in 2018. The Medical University of South Carolina will serve as the clinical leadership site.
