Canadian Serious Illness Conversations Course by Pallium Canada

The Canadian Serious Illness Conversations (CSIC) course is designed to provide health care professionals with the tools and knowledge needed to have compassionate and effective conversations with patients and their families dealing with serious illnesses. This course empowers health care professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the Serious Illness Conversation Guide©, developed by Ariadne Labs of Harvard Medical School.

Course Structure

Online module: This two-part interactive, self-learning module can be completed at your own pace (approximately 1.5–2 hours of work). Learners are guided through using the Serious Illness Conversation Guide©.

Facilitated session: Following the online module, participate in a dynamic and interactive 1.5–2 hour online or in-person workshop led by a certified CSIC facilitator. This clinician workshop offers the opportunity to practice and refine communication skills through roleplaying exercises.

Objectives

  • Acquire the skills to have compassionate and effective conversations with patients dealing with serious illness.
  • Access tools and resources on serious illness conversations.
  • Please ensure you have enough time to complete 2 Pre-Course Activities (1–2 hours of work) and 1 self-learning online modules (3 hours of work) before the start of your Canadian Serious Illness Conversations session.

Who is this for?

The CSIC course is ideal for any health care professional (e.g., primary care providers, nurses, social workers) who wants
to use the Serious Illness Conversation Guide more effectively, and improve their ability to engage in meaningful and compassionate conversations.
