This four-day course involves a combination of communication and symptom-management skills training in an intimate setting, with a faculty to student ratio between 2-3:1. With facilitators from pediatrics, internal medicine, oncology, psychiatry, and geriatrics, attendees will be exposed to best palliative care practices in a variety of clinical settings, including the ICU, outpatient clinic, the emergency department, hospital and hospice. There is a shortage of trained hospice and palliative medicine providers in Utah for all health care disciplines from nursing to medicine to pharmacy. UCoPE is designed to address this critical shortage by providing an intensive course aimed at improving generalist palliative care skills for both adult and pediatric patients with serious illness. This interprofessional training certificate is the first of its kind in the intermountain region. Our goal is to increase the access to palliative care trained health care providers throughout Utah.\nObjectives\n\nSummarize up-to-date knowledge on best practices in hospice medicine and palliative care.\nAnalyze personal communication skills, especially difficult conversations around goals of care in serious illness and at the end of life.\nDevelop confidence in managing basic pain and symptoms of chronically ill patients and those at end of life.\n\nRegistration\nIn person registration only.\n\n
