POLST Champion Certificate Program

This registration option is for the FULL POLST Champion Certificate Program. If you wish to register for any portion of the program, but not the full program, please follow the links below to the appropriate option or go to the POLST Champion Certificate Program page.

Why?
The state of California will soon launch a statewide POLST eRegistry; in preparation for this launch, each healthcare organization across the state should have a qualified POLST Champion expert to guide implementation.

Who?
The POLST Champion can be any clinician working primarily with patients with serious illness who would benefit from discussing, documenting, and communicating preferences for treatment in the POLST medical order set. Signing providers – MD/DO, NP, or PA – are especially appropriate for this role.

  • 10 online training modules (8 topic modules and 2 setting-specific modules); all online training must be completed and passed prior to in-person training.
  • In-person skills training (minimum of 20 participants per location needed to hold in-person training)
    • Southern California, June 24, O’Connor Mortuary Chapel & Crematory, Laguna Hills (rescheduled from 4/29; registration cutoff is extended to June 15 - coursework MUST be completed by June 22)
