Description of CME Course

Studies show that when seriously ill children receive palliative care, they experience less suffering (including pain and dyspnea). Only a small minority of those practicing in hospice and palliative care are experienced in the care of pediatric patients and families and only a small number of pediatricians are experienced in palliative care and hospice. Providers need evidence-based education on the needs and care of pediatric patients and their families/caregivers. Providers need the opportunity to apply knowledge to cases to improved their competence. This activity engages the learner in case-based self-assessment questions and includes references and rationale for responses. The online self-assessment allows the learner to engage the content on demand at her/his convenience.
