Through a partnership with the Coleman Palliative Care Organization, Illinois AHEC is offering a series of free on-demand CE/CME webinars on palliative care in the context of the current COVID-19 epidemic.

COVID-19 has required that hospitals and health institutions enforce safety precautions that often separate patients from their loved ones and clinicians from loved ones who are charged with participating in care decisions. Continuing education and continuing medical education credits are attached to each presentation. All 11 presentations embrace an interprofessional care perspective and are appropriate for a wide variety of health professionals interested in palliative care. Topics covered include:

• Advance care planning
• Symptom management
• Pain and pain management
• Communication issues
• Issues specific to nursing homes and long-term care facilities
• Team morale and clinician burn-out

The webinars feature recognized experts in the palliative care field wirh extensive experience treating patients during the current epidemic. While the content is COVID-19 focused, many of the issues are germane for palliative care in all contexts.
