Pre-Conference Workshop, June 3, 2024
"Mastering Early Goals of Care Conversations"
We believe that empathic, honest conversations are cornerstones of patient- and family-centered care. Research shows that patients who speak with their clinicians about their goals and values are more likely to receive the care they want, have fewer non-beneficial medical treatments, spend fewer days in hospitals and intensive care units, and report a better quality of life.

After attending this conference, participants should be able to:

• Review current recommendations for Menopause and Hormone Replacement Therapy, Treatment Resistant Hypertension, Skin Disease and Metabolic Disorders, Celiac Disease, and more.
