The Conversation Project in conjunction with the Boston University School of Medicine and the IHI Open School offers this course “Having the Conversation: Basic Skills for Conversations about End-of-Life Care” to introduce students and health professionals to basic skills for having conversations with patients and their families about end-of-life care wishes.
This course will also help you develop skills to have conversations with patients and their families about their preferences for care at the end of life. As part of developing these skills, the course invites you to “have the conversation” yourself, with a family member or other loved one.
