Self Paced Palliative Care

Stress is a serious threat to the health, efficacy, and satisfaction of physicians, nurses, social workers and other health professionals caring for patients with serious or life-limiting illness. Without diligently practicing self-care, palliative care practitioners may face a cascade of adverse clinical, personal and professional outcomes.

Studies show clinicians who are chronically stressed provide poorer care, are subject to malpractice suits, are at risk for potentially serious illness, and have trouble connecting with patients and colleagues.
