Hope and Resilience: Cultural Relevance in Palliative Care

Monday, September 18, 2023, 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM, 100 George St, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, New Brunswick, NJ

As the landscape of palliative care continues to evolve, it is crucial to recognize and address the diverse cultural needs and preferences of patients and their families. This conference aims to foster a deeper understanding of the role cultural relevance plays in providing compassionate care to individuals facing serious illness.

1. Facilitate discussion and develop an action plan to mitigate cultural bias and promote inclusion.
2. Understand the concept of implicit bias and its impact on palliative care.
3. Recognize personal bias and gain insight on how these biases may influence perceptions and behaviors.
