Thank you for joining us at our 2026 Symposium at CSUSM on June 4th-5th!
The Symposium is a unique and interactive multidisciplinary conference designed to highlight the latest in academic palliative care research, teaching, and practice. It is the only event of its kind in the country designed for university faculty, practitioners, and researchers focused on advancing palliative care.
The annual conference features a dynamic agenda of plenary, panel, and breakout sessions highlighting how to incorporate palliative care concepts into research, courses, and experiences at all educational levels.
Since 2014, over 1,200 professionals from universities, academic medical centers, healthcare systems, health plans, hospices and community hospitals have attended the annual conference.
