UBC CPD: UBC Division of Palliative Care CME Day

This year’s conference invites participants to examine the many dimensions of modern palliative care through the lens of today’s most relevant clinical challenges. Expert faculty will explore emerging approaches to symptom management, including interventional procedures for pain, discuss the evolving science of prognostication in the era of novel cancer therapies, and review practical strategies for managing patients with complex conditions such as renal failure. Sessions will also highlight the realities of delivering high-quality home-based palliative care, the importance of culturally safe and sensitive care, and the role of narrative medicine in strengthening therapeutic relationships and preserving meaning for both patients and clinicians.
