Palliative Care: End of Life Decisions: Ethical and Legal Aspects of Palliative Care

USD Nursing and the statewide coalition From Advance Care Planning Towards Palliative Care will launch a series of sessions called “Project ECHO: Palliative Care ECHO Moving Knowledge, Not Patients.”  The sessions will be conducted using the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) video-conferencing platform to provide interprofessional, case-based learning designed to connect palliative care specialists to rural healthcare settings throughout South Dakota.

When and Where?

The program consists of eight monthly 1-hour education sessions starting April 28th, 2022. All sessions are from 12:30 to 1:30 pm C.T. (11:30 to 12:30 M.T.) Join each session via Zoom from an internet-enabled device. Organizations who want to participate are strongly encouraged to participate in all 8 sessions.

Register HERE.

At each session, the first 48 people in attendance will receive a $20 gift card from Walmart. To be eligible for the gift card, you must attend the entire session and complete all surveys. Gift cards can be earned multiple times for attending multiple sessions. One registration allows you to sign up for all eight sessions. See the attached document to learn more about Project Palliative Care ECHO.

Continuing Education Available!

Once approval of our continuing education program has been granted, continuing education (CE) credits will be awarded through the ECHO Institute. ECHO will grant joint accreditation through the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).
