You'll help educate the medical staff about Palliative Care Child Life Services and work alongside them to ensure excellent family-centered care.
You'll help develop best practices, and processes to enhance our Palliative Care Child Life team and the services we provide across the Baylor Scott & White healthcare system.
What Will Make You Successful in The Role You have an extensive understanding of child development, child life theory, evidence-based practice, trauma, grief, and developmentally-appropriate therapeutic practices for children.
