From Knowledge to Dialogue: Mastering Serious Illness Communication Across the Hepatology Workforce

About this session

Effective communication is a core component of hepatology care. Yet teams may struggle with complex conversations about prognosis, goals of care, and end-of-life planning. This workshop provides advanced training for clinicians across the hepatology workforce (trainees, advance practice practitioners, physicians) in communicating with adults with serious illnesses affecting the liver (decompensated cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma) and their caregivers.
