End-of-Life Care Series (Module 3)

End-of-Life Module 3: Advance Care Planning

Advance care planning is important for all patients. Physicians have an ethical obligation to help patients consider their wishes about care at the end of life, including which life-sustaining treatments they are likely to want if they become severely ill and unable to speak for themselves.

In this module, we describe advance directives in detail and explore case-based scenarios involving the decision-making process at the end-of-life.

Learning Objectives

  • Explain the components of advance care planning.
  • Integrate advance care planning discussions for all patients into usual care.
  • Explain the options for surrogate decision-making for those without decision-making capacity.
