David J. Casarett, MD,
Author, Noted Researcher,
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
Friday, April 9th, 2010
1:30 pm until 4:00 pm
In Last Acts, Dr. David Casarett explores
many questions as he considers how we use our time when that time is
limited. In the process, he shares the compelling stories of many of
the patients he's cared for in 10 years as a hospice and palliative
care physician. Last Acts draws on the author's clinical
experiences to help patients make the most of the time that they
have. It will also help families and loved ones understand why
patients sometimes make choices that can seem baffling and
perplexing.
At the completion of
Dr. Casarett's seminar, participants will be able to:
♦Identify "last acts" that are important to people at the end of
life;
♦Describe ways that hospice and palliative care professionals can
assist people with their chosen last acts/important goals at the end
of life;
♦Discuss the potential for growth and new possibilities for growth
and new possibilities inherent in the end-of-life experience.
