Health care for patients at the end of life, i.e. for those who suffer from advanced, progressive and incurable illness, is highly complex. Beyond medical treatment, it crucially requires understanding and appropriately attending to patients’ wishes, values and needs. Accordingly, education for professionals in this field has to develop modalities and ways of learning and training which prepare for interdisciplinary and inter-professional teamwork.
Dorith Shaham, clinician and leading medical educator who successfully established the multi-year Medical Humanities program Adam U’Refuah at Hadassah Medical Faculty, will highlight key issues of and experiences with educating an inter-professional group for care at the end of life.
