Virtual Workshops on Advanced Symptom Management in Serious Illness

The Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) is offering new virtual clinical workshops focused on advanced approaches for managing complex symptoms in patients living with serious illness, particularly those experiencing refractory pain and treatment-resistant depression. Taught by expert faculty, these case-based, two-hour interactive sessions equip clinicians with practical, evidence-based strategies for complex symptom control, including real-world applications and clinical decision-making frameworks.

• Current evidence supporting specialized interventions for patients with serious illness, with a focus on refractory pain and depression.
