The Institute and its Campus Partners began work in 2018 on a pilot program for an online Faculty Toolkit to help college and university faculty integrate palliative care content into classes in multiple disciplines. The online modules include resources and interactive learning activities that focus on the basics of palliative care and health disparities in palliative care.
It is requested that anyone who requires auxiliary aids such as sign language interpreters and alternative format materials notify the event sponsor at least seven business days in advance. Every reasonable effort will be made to provide reasonable accommodations.
Campus partners build awareness of palliative care through programs for students, faculty, health professionals, and caregivers in their communities.
