This workshop aims to define the CRNA's role in addressing goals of care, focusing on key communication skills and the complexities in palliative care, conflict management, ethical dilemmas, and shared decision-making. Participants will learn effective strategies in managing cognitive dissonance, emotional language, and navigating diverging goals with patients and families. The session also covers intelligence and behavioral metrics in communication, emphasizing emotional intelligence and core communication skills. Interactive role-modeling exercises and debriefing sessions will enhance participants' ability to improve patient-provider communication and person-centered care. Resources from the Center to Advance Palliative Care and other experts in the field will be shared for further learning and development.
