About the Webinar
Are you an Emergency Medicine or Palliative Medicine physician, trainee, or medical student interested in bringing palliative medicine into the emergency department (ED)?
This session will explore practical strategies for integrating palliative care into ED workflows. Drawing on real-world examples from successful models, the discussion will highlight:
- Critical Components: Institutional buy-in, funding streams, structured clinical hours, and alignment with ED operations.
- Common Barriers: Challenges to implementation.
- Actionable Solutions: Strategies to overcome obstacles and strengthen ED-based palliative care programs.
Why Attend?
This session offers more than an overview — it provides a roadmap you can apply in your own ED. You’ll gain practical tools for program development, hear lessons learned from seasoned physicians, and leave with actionable strategies to build or strengthen ED-based palliative care.
