Of all of life’s transitions, death is the most challenging. The growing cultural and ethnic diversity of the US population highlights the urgent need for healthcare professionals to learn skills to communicate respect, appreciation, and sensitivity to other cultures. This eLearning course conveys the key elements of cultural awareness, skills, and humility to achieve more culturally-relevant and meaningful end-of-life care. Through poignant stories, poems, videoclips, sculpture, and meaningful art forms learners see how the Arts can be used as a powerful clinical therapeutic tool.
