Palliative care is an approach to aggressively treat symptoms and improve quality of life for patients facing life-limiting illness. Participate in this module to learn the role of the interdisciplinary palliative care team in relieving symptoms, pain and the stress of a serious illness. Learners will recognize clinical situations where palliative care may improve the quality of life for both the patient and the family.

This learning module, created by Gurveen Malhotra, Udai Jayakumar, and Tanjeev Kaur, discusses palliative care. By the end of module, learners should also be able to: (1) identify the role of the interdisciplinary palliative care team; (2) differentiate between hospice and palliative care; (3) discuss clinical situations where hospice and palliative care may prolong life; and (4) recognize when artificial nutrition provides no benefit to the patient. Registration required to access the material but there is no charge.
