Goal
 
Caring for the cancer patient in the advanced stages of disease is particularly challenging to the healthcare team.  It requires attending to the many dimensions of care including medical, psychosocial, ethical, and spiritual needs. In its 16th year, the Updates in Hospice and Palliative Medicine and Intensive Physician Board Review Course will continue to offer physicians and healthcare professionals’ educational updates and literature review to help them successfully take the ABIM exam.

Physicians, fellows and advanced nurse practitioners will gain the knowledge and competence pertaining to symptom and pain management, issues facing patients at end-of- life, and effective communication techniques to implement into clinical practice.
