Expanding understanding of end-of-life
issues is important for everyone. Our goal is to provide
helpful information for people in the last stage of
life, their family members, friends, and professional
caregivers.
Participating in on-going professional
development is especially important for members of the
interdisciplinary team in order for them to be well
equipped to provide on-going high-quality compassionate
end-of-life care.
An eclectic offering of learning
opportunities has been assembled for your review. Take a
moment to explore ways to develop your knowledge, skills
and abilities.
