ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
A One-Day Workshop
Sunday, October 10, 2021
10:00 am – 12:00 pm & 2:00 – 5:30 pm ET
End of life is a developmental stage, which is experienced by all patients and requires a unique set of skills by their caregivers. However, those studying nursing, medicine and other allied professions are usually not taught how their patients die. The absence of this education leads to misunderstanding about the nature and goals of medical care, inability to communicate and increased suffering for clinicians, patients and family.
Additionally, our health care institutions are designed to care for patients with acute episodic illnesses and geared toward their recovery. However, many patients have chronic progressive life-limiting illnesses and will not recover.
IN THIS WORKSHOP WE WILL DISCUSS:
- how our education and institutional systems fail in the care of patients at the end of life
- explore ways we can improve and transform them
This class is appropriate for all healthcare professionals.
Note: This program will be offered online. Sessions of all our online programs will be recorded and shared with registrants after each is completed for 90 days.
