The role of the speech-language pathologist in palliative care has been ill-defined and unclear, prompting SAC to develop a position statement outlining the roles of the professions as essential parts of the palliative care team. This seminar will explore what palliative care means, the role of the S-LP in the multidisciplinary team, common myths and misperceptions and common concerns that arise concerning swallowing and communication impairments.
Learning Objectives
Participants will:
- increase their knowledge of the palliative care philosophy;
- practice skills related to discussing palliative care issues; and
- share experiences, challenges, and strategies that clinicians may encounter when providing palliative care.
