Hospice Super Forum
AAHPM and HMDCB are pleased to present The Hospice Super Forum. This half-day virtual educational event will address trending topics in hospice medicine, including hospice ethical challenges, hospice deprescribing, and complex symptom management in hospice patients.
Learners can expect to gain a basic framework of ethical decision making within the context of end-of-life care, learn critical thinking processes for assessing the appropriateness of individual medication in serious illness, and review and examine pharmacological and nonpharmacological approaches to managing top complex symptoms. Each session will include a Q&A time with presenters and an opportunity to connect with peers.
Join Drs. Mina Chang, Mary Lynn McPherson, and David Wensel as they guide learners through these important topics that all practitioners caring for hospice patients should be aware of.
