The new Palliative Care ABFM-developed KSA activity focuses on communication strategies, shared decision making, and ethical considerations in palliative care. As well as general principals of pain management, legal regulatory, culture and psychological aspects of palliative care. Managing common palliative care syndromes and recognizing and managing palliative care emergencies.

This 4-hour workshop will use the American Board of Family Medicine Palliative Care knowledge self-assessment(KSA) module to review palliative care topics in a quiz/answer/discussion format.  Participants that are certified by the American Board of Family Medicine will receive credit for completion of the ABFM KSA. The KSA will be completed by group participation and discussion to allow for learning from each other.  Additionally, a content expert will provide clarification and additional content. The workshop is not restricted to physicians certified by The American Board of Family Medicine only.  Clinicians certified by other organizations will benefit from the same learning opportunities.
