From Distress to Action: Addressing Moral Distress in Palliative Care Workshop
Physicians, Physician Assistants, Social Workers, Nurses and Case Managers, Earn CEs
CAPC is offering new virtual clinical workshops on moral distress within the palliative care team through the interprofessional perspectives of the physician, registered nurse, and social worker. Participants will examine common sources of moral distress, including aggressive treatment at the end of life, ineffective communication, resource limitations, and tensions between patient wishes and organizational constraints.
Through interactive case-based discussions grounded in complex, real-world clinical scenarios, learners will deepen their understanding of the genesis of moral distress in clinical practice and its impact on team members, patient care, and organizational culture.
Participants will gain practical strategies for recognizing and managing their own moral distress, supporting colleagues experiencing moral distress, and leveraging organizational resources and practical consultation frameworks to address moral distress at a systems level.
These workshops offer continuing education credits for physicians, physician assistants, and social workers. CAPC is working closely with their educational partners to offer continuing education credits for nurses and case managers. CAPC membership is NOT required, but members receive discounted registration.
