A Five Wishes Facilitator learning path for clinicians.

This course is appropriate for clinicians who facilitate advance care planning conversations with individuals. Unlike the Presenter Training, which focuses on providing public presentations and education to groups of people, the Facilitator Training prepares clinicians to assist individuals as they complete their advance directive. It is designed for healthcare professionals and clinicians who engage directly with patients, families, and caregivers. This package includes three online learning modules earning 3 hours of CE, sample printed Five Wishes resources, and conversation guides.
