Palliative care is focused on improving the quality of life in patients who are experiencing severe or life-threatening disease, like cystic fibrosis. This seminar will enhance understanding of different end-of-life scenarios and how the medical team can be supportive during this sensitive time. The four speakers for this session will talk about pain management, family/patient goals and rehabilitation, and different ways comfort is provided, both in the pediatric and adult setting. The goal is to leave this session with knowledge and skills to offer support and resources to not only your patients and their families, but your medical teams as well, to promote a patient-centered approach.
