A core principle of hospice care is that people are multidimensional beings.  An important part of this concept is that physical pain is also a multidimensional experience and is best managed by a skilled interdisciplinary team.  Are you a social worker or chaplain who thinks pain management is outside your scope of practice?  It’s not!  This second webinar of the series will present the areas of pain and symptom management that call for skillful assessment and intervention of both social workers and chaplains.  It will also examine the necessary skills for comprehensive interventions.

HIGHLIGHTS
