Description of CME Course
End-of-life conversations are among the most critical interactions between physicians and patients, and often, they present challenges to health care providers across all ages, backgrounds, and specialties. This two-hour Continuing Medical Education (CME) program is designed to enhance physicians’ skills in conducting serious illness conversations and planning with patients and their families, while also addressing the ethical issues that may arise. The program will combine didactic teaching with interactive components, such as role-playing and case studies, to provide a comprehensive learning experience and better prepare you for vital end-of-life conversations.
