Welcome to SUNSET. Caring for others or working in a setting where people are at the most vulnerable points in their lives are not easy tasks, and there are many things to consider when approaching end-of-life care. SUNSET is a distance education program designed to provide you with greater knowledge so that you may effectively use your skills as a healthcare provider or caregiver, while earning valuable continuing education credit.
Please Note
THE SUNSET CURRICULUM IS CURRENTLY BEING UPDATED.
THE PROGRAM IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
We value your interest in end-of-life education and ask you to enter your name and email address in the form on the left so we may advise you when the program is once again available -- projected date is Fall 2008. Thank you for your patience.
Each SUNSET Module is unique, and the content for each covers a specific topic related to end-of-life care. However, as healthcare workers and human beings, we realize that life does not just present us with one challenge or issue at a time. We have designed SUNSET to give you opportunities to explore many areas related to end-of-life care.
Most of the modules should take about one hour to complete. You can take as many, or as few, modules as you have interest in.
If this is your first distance education experience, don't panic! You will be guided through the program easily. SUNNY, our online assistant, is available to help you get started once you REGISTER.
We are glad you have chosen to help others in need, and believe the SUNSET Program will help you along your journey. Welcome, once again.

SUNSET development was originally funded by a grant from the Nationwide Foundation. The program staff greatly appreciates Nationwide's generous support and, additionally, wishes to acknowledge the involvement of AOPHA (Association of Ohio Philanthropic Homes, Housing and Services for the Aging) for their collaboration on the development of the SUNSET curriculum, as well as their assistance in pilot testing this distance education program.
