Multidisciplinary Panel on end-of-life issues and Asian Americans – 2/28

Are you interested in learning more about end-of-life care? And have you ever wondered about how culture affects the way patients and their families approach the difficult decisions that need to be made near the end of life?

If so, consider attending the Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association’s next event – a multidisciplinary panel on end-of-life issues among Asian Americans (just one example: some Asian American families may prefer to shield an elderly parent from news of a terminal diagnosis). We have a great multidisciplinary group of panelists lined up to share their experiences and take your questions:

  • Karen Clay, MSW, Providence Hospice of Seattle
  • Annie Hirano, MD, Seattle Keiro (a skilled nursing facility)
  • Thuan Ong, MD, Providence Hospice of Seattle
  • Jill Watanabe, MD, Harborview Medical Center

All Social Work (and other UW) students are welcome to attend. Here are the details:

Date: Thursday, February 28
Time: 6:00-7:00 PM
Location: T-534/T-536, UW Health Sciences Building (map)
