Building Bridges:
Cultural Diversity and End-of-Life Care 

Program Description
In this interactive workshop, you will have the opportunity to investigate the role that culture and ethnicity play at end of life, and how to have culturally-sensitive discussions about palliative and end-of-life care with patients and their families.

Objectives
At the completion of this course, the active participant will be able to:

1)  Compare and contrast the culture of health care and the culture of end-of-life care

2)  Discuss the prominent cultural features of your work environment and how these relate to end-of-life care

3)  Define cultural competency, cultural humility and cultural dignity in the context of health care

4)  Critique your own cultural biases

Building Bridges is designed for healthcare providers including physicians, nurses, social workers and chaplains.
