What is the Hospice MDP? 

The Hospice MDP is a comprehensive, continuous management training program that provides hospice-specific information and helps managers develop the skills they need to meet the challenges and changes they face in managing programs, systems and people.

Conceived and developed by national hospice leaders and rooted in the values of hospice care, the Hospice MDP provides a wealth of ongoing learning opportunities in the field of hospice management.  The Foundation Program is a 2-day intensive workshop followed up with online training modules. 

           ASHPCA and NHPCO held MDPs in Arkansas in 2008 and 2009, training nearly 70 hospice and palliative care professional in leadership, managment and administrative skills.  If you are interested in attending a course in Arkansas in 2010 let us know at jdevans@arkansasstatehospice.org
