Description

While the idea of palliative care is increasingly embraced in medical school and residency education, the nuance of cultural diversity in patient and family considerations about death and dying are still not well understood. Additionally, a practitioner's own beliefs about death and dying can impact the conversation and potentially influence the direction of care. This session aims to give providers a tool set for interfacing with different cultures in the discussion of death and dying, while at the same time encourage them to identify their own beleifs and how those can influence practice.
