What You'll Learn
Healthcare conversations with patients and their family members can be challenging, especially in the context of disclosure of serious medical conditions and poor prognosis as well as preference sensitive treatment decision-making. This is so, as such conversations are by their nature value laden, emotionally charged and can have significant implications on the life of patients. Social Workers play an important role in supporting the healthcare team in carrying out such difficult conversations as well as attending to the patients’ and their family members’ cognitive and affective processing work. This course will equip Social Workers with the knowledge and skills related to breaking bad news, truthtelling and healthcare decision-making, which are critical to enable them to perform these supportive roles effectively.
Entry Requirements
Social Workers with minimum 1 year social work experience
