Does "DNR" Change the Care Patients Receive?

Friday Chalk Talks are a weekly, live-audience, short-and-sweet, 20-30 minute presentation and discussion, for the entire multidisciplinary Palliative Care team (physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, pharmacists, and others). A grassroots project to share knowledge, experiences, and lessons learned with other Palliative Care specialists. Presentations are focused on smaller topics meant to spark further interest in a subject and provide listeners with pearls that may help impact their practice.
Looking to Join? If you are in healthcare and working in, or closely with, the field of hospice or palliative care and would like to be a part of our weekly live discussions, reach out to us at: [e-mail] or at [e-mail]
