Course Overview
The American Indian and Alaska Native population suffers a disproportionate burden from cancer and have palliative care needs unique to their cultural perspectives. There is an urgent need to train health professionals serving these populations in the delivery of culturally appropriate palliative and end-of-life care. Despite the fact that the knowledge base exists to adequately control the symptoms and suffering experienced by patients with cancer, patients continue to report significant amounts of unrelieved suffering. Gaps between current and desired practice need to be filled so that palliative care becomes an essential and inextricable part of comprehensive cancer care.
As a result of completing this training, participants will be able to:
1. Define advance care planning; explain its importance.
2. Describe the steps of advance care planning.
3. Describe the role of patient, proxy, physician, others.
4. Identify pitfalls and limitations in advance care planning.
5. Utilize planning to help put affairs in order.
