10 (9 Clinical; 1 Social/Cultural) CEUs
New! Advance Care Planning Certificate
End-of-life planning is a sensitive topic and social workers are ideally suited to initiate and guide these discussions as they explore an individual’s values and preferences. In fact, a reported 96 percent of clinical social workers conduct advance care planning conversations (ACP) and 80 percent are responsible for educating patients and families about ACP options.
NASW-DE and NASW-NJ, in partnership with Goals of Care Coalition of NJ, has developed a certificate program for those new to these conversations and for seasoned professionals who would like a deeper understanding of the issue.
The three-part program includes: 2 CEU hours of pre-foundational reading; 4 CEU hours On-Demand videos and culminates in 4 CEU hours of live instruction (September 30, 2020, 9AM-1PM).
Our experienced faculty:
- David Barile, MD, Founder and Chief Medical Officer, Goals of Care Coalition of NJ.
- Marianne Holler, MD, Chief Medical Officer, VNA Health Group for Hospice, Palliative Medicine and the Advanced Care Institute.
- Tracy Grafton, LCSW, ACHP-SW, Palliative Care Program, Hackensack Meridian Health
