(TH01) The Art of Advance Care Planning

This interactive session will describe a distinct six step advanced illness model which will serve as a guide for clinicians to have meaningful goals of care conversations. A highly trained, inter-professional team of facilitators will provide talking points, stories and pearls to navigate through the complexity and nuances of these meaningful conversations. Role of an inter-professional team will be addressed and participants will gain hands 'on experience with spiritual care tools and activities. Facilitators will moderate and oversee interactive role plays utilizing case studies that will demonstrate some of the common pitfalls that clinicians experience with this work. Through role play, participants will be able to practice their verbiage, move through the steps, learn different ways to acknowledge emotions, and receive constructive feedback on what truly are "conversations of the heart."
