Course Description: ATTENTION: THIS IS A MASTERS LEVEL COURSE. Health care providers, regardless of practice settings, will inevitably work with patients facing acute or long-term situations involving life-limiting illness, dying, death, grief, and bereavement. These patients and their families experience a variety of needs throughout their time of illness. These needs are addressed by the help of many professional disciplines specifically trained to diagnose and treat these needs. This course provides an interdisciplinary (e.g., medicine, nursing, social work, pharmacy, ethics) discourse on the provision of holistic (bio-psycho-socio-spiritual) care for patients and their families experiencing life-limiting disease. The course will introduce health professional students to the knowledge, skills and values within each discipline necessary to meet the needs of this population. Students will learn both unique, discipline-specific knowledge and skills in working with the dying as well as knowledge and skills necessary to work effectively as a collaborating member of the interdisciplinary health care team.
