Midwest Palliative & Hospice CareCenter welcomes visits by healthcare professionals who wish to participate in clinical learning opportunities to enhance their understanding of palliative care and hospice.
Goal
To ensure that all educational participants are better informed about palliative care and recognize the benefits of interdisciplinary approaches to whole-person quality care.
Overview
- Education is provided about the content, context and process of whole-person care across the lifespan and in facilitating patient-and family-centered goals of:
- Seeking wellness and improved function despite life-limiting illness.
- Maximizing potential for recovery.
- Relief from suffering through pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies.
- Maintaining a satisfactory quality of life while living with chronic, serious or life-threatening illness.
- Coping with loss and bereavement.
- Promoting the development and growth possible while approaching the end of life.
- Midwest CareCenter professional education components offer workshops as well as self-study modules.
- Experienced healthcare professionals work with individual participants around their areas of interest.
Participants
- Are experienced healthcare professionals, typically with advanced degrees—e.g., physician, nurse, social worker, chaplain.
- Can develop a schedule to accommodate their needs. That is, one- or two-day and occasionally longer learning opportunities are available.
- Have the opportunity to work on independent academic projects.
- Experience the benefits of education and mentoring from committed professionals in palliative and hospice care.
- Will renew their sense of commitment to delivering quality palliative and end-of-life care to their patients and families regardless of the setting and their own specialty.
