Save the Date! 6th Annual Professional Palliative Care Conference, CSUSM campus: December 1, 2023
Join us at San Diego's sixth annual meet-up for Palliative Care professionals, students, educators, and administrators. This event is geared to palliative care professionals, across disciplines, with a daylong program of speakers, panels, and breakout sessions. Our program will address issues of access and quality in palliative care, with a focus on communication and planning between providers, patients, and families. Our goal is to enhance the profile, availability, and impact of palliative care in our region, from the point of diagnosis forward. We'll share tactics to expand public awareness of palliative care among patient populations. We'll discuss efforts to improve the quality of multidisciplinary palliative care in our region and ensure broader access to palliative care across care settings. We'll examine strategies to improve communication between patients, families, and palliative care providers, particularly in advance care planning.
Our keynote speaker will be Holly Yang MD (Scripps, Hospice and Palliative Medicine). Dr. Yang is currently serving as the 2023 President of the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine, and she is a past Chair of the San Diego County Medical Society.
Presented by the San Diego Coalition for Compassionate Care and the Shiley Haynes Institute for Palliative Care at CSUSM. Breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack are provided with your registration fee. Please register today!
