The AVN Hospice Internship provides students with a comprehensive, hands‑on learning experience across the full continuum of hospice care. Interns gain meaningful exposure by shadowing an interdisciplinary team—including our Hospice Medical Director, Registered Nurses, Medical Social Workers, Chaplain, Bereavement Coordinator, and Volunteer staff. Students also participate in weekly Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) meetings to observe collaborative, patient‑centered care in action.

Key Responsibilities

Participate in Camp Clover, the Children’s Grief and Bereavement Camp, by assisting with registration, logistics, volunteer coordination, and materials preparation.
