Communicating About What Matters Most: Encouraging Serious Illness Conversations

12 Jan 2022

12:00pm EST - 1:00pm EST

Clinicians and patients alike know that serious illness conversations are important to inform care choices and avoid harmful and potentially unnecessary tests and treatments. But these conversations commonly happen too late, if at all.

Choosing Wisely Talks on January 12 at 12 p.m. ET will explore the rationale for integrating serious illness conversations in practice as well as common challenges to doing so. Dr. Justin Sanders, a member of the team that created the Serious Illness Conversation Guide, will discuss evidence-based strategies on how to communicate about what matters most.

Speaker:

  • Dr. Justin Sanders, Palliative Care Physician and Kappy and Eric M. Flanders Chair in Palliative Medicine, McGill University
