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. Indicate that comprehensive cancer care includes palliative care from the day of diagnosis
2. Define hospice and palliative care and relate their history
3. Describe funding and service delivery models for providing comprehensive cancer care
4. Identify when palliative care services are appropriate for cancer patients
5. Describe conceptions of suffering
6. Use a framework to guide assessment
7. Use a validated screening tool, NEST, to facilitate an initial screening assessment
8. Complete a detailed assessment of active issues
This recorded webinar is not eligible for continuing education credits but is availble as an additional educational resource.
