Objectives (Educational Content) :
1. Summarize two of the current scholarly activity areas in the Palliative Care Division at Akron Children’s Hospital. 2 Identify three characteristics distinguishing deaths managed by palliative care compared to other service. 3. Outline individual decision-making roles of ECMO and palliative care clinicians for patients with a suspected or diagnosed genetic disorders who are considered for ECMO.
Target Audience:
General pediatricians, family physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers, psychologists, and nurses.
