FORGING THE FUTURE OF PALLIATIVE CARE 2020 SUMMIT
Culturally-Concordant Communication and Care for African American Patients with Serious Illness : A Training Program Created by the African American Community for Clinicians
This training program is based on a series of videos with messages for clinicians on the cultural values and communication methods important to African Americans with serious illness . They were created over several months by a team of African American pastors , healthcare providers , and family members and loved ones of an African American with a serious illness .
Do you take care of African American patients with serious illness ? Do you sometimes wish you could better understand the cultural values of the African American community , so that you can provide them with outstanding care that takes into consideration the needs of the patient and family within a cultural context ?
There is limited availability for this 3-hour special workshop . An additional fee of $ 40 is required to participate .
