Breaking Bad News to Patients: Webinar

Open to all at no cost

Breaking bad news is one of a provider’s most difficult duties, yet medical education typically offers little formal preparation for this daunting task. In this free Zoom webinar, a panel of practitioners will provide advice and share case studies to explore best practices for this challenging responsibility, including techniques to facilitate breaking bad news, offer realistic hope based on the patient's goals and support patients and their families after the diagnosis has been shared.

 

Panelists include:

C. Bree Johnston, MD, Director, Palliative Care, Skagit Regional Health.

Eddie Harrod, MDiv, Chaplain, Whatcom Hospice, PeaceHealth

Koreen Fish, MSW, Coordinator for the Outpatient Palliative Care Team for PeaceHealth.

Claudia Fischer, RN, MSN, Program Coordinator, Inpatient Palliative Care Team, PeaceHealth.
