Course Description:
The Colloquy is intended to provide an education forum that will encourage interaction between our expert speakers and an audience of health professionals, educators, students, and community members. Disagreement on how to define futile medical care causes conflicts between healthcare providers and patients and their families. When these issues are not able to be solved within the healthcare setting often legal action is taken by patient’s families. This is due to the lack of definition surrounding futile medical care, resulting in a lack of coherence of standard care across institutions.
