Workshop: Understanding spiritual assessments of patients (CME available)
With the Joint Commission’s requirement that all patients admitted to an acute hospital have a spiritual assessment, it is important for faculty to understand how to address the spiritual needs and practices of patients. Additionally, incorporating spirituality into your development as a clinician can help to mitigate burnout and be a vital aspect of self-care.
Target audience for this workshop: Any faculty who are interested in learning about spirituality and medicine.
Attending this workshop can accomplish the following objectives:
- Outline how a patient's religion and or spirituality can intersect with their health care.
- Describe techniques to teach learners how to use standardized assessments to understand the role their spirituality plays in their lives.
- Define the role of the interdisciplinary team in the spiritual care of patients and their families.
- Explain how to apply knowledge about spirituality, faith, and religion in patient-centered care.
- Incorporate spirituality into professional and personal development as a tool against burnout.
