Hospice and Palliative Care of Greensboro (HPCG) is marking its 30th Anniversary Year with a special speaker. On October 5, 2010, HPCG is hosting nationally recognized medical ethicist Larry R. Churchill, Ph.D. of Vanderbilt University, for lecture and discussion.
HPCG is partnering with Guilford College to present Dr. Churchill. For the past five years Churchill has been researching the aspects of health care relationships that make them therapeutic. His belief - which is widely shared, but seldom studied - is that relationships with clinicians, in addition to drugs, medical or surgical procedures, have healing power. Churchill did his post-graduate work at Duke University, receiving his Masters in Divinity in 1970, as well as his PhD in Religion and Culture (1973).
Churchill joined the Vanderbilt faculty in 2002 as the Ann Geddes Stahlman Professor of Medical Ethics. He holds appointments in the Vanderbilt School of Medicine, as well as in the Divinity School and in the Department of Philosophy. Prior to Vanderbilt, Churchill was Professor of Social Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), where he served as Department Chair from 1988-1998. Continuing Education Credits The Greensboro Area Health Education Center has awarded 0.15 CEU (1.5 contact hours) to participants attending this entire activity. (An additional $10.00 fee is required for CEU credit. Contact Tammy Chaput with questions regarding CEU credits at 621-5565.)
Healing, and the relationships which facilitate healing, are subjects about which there are many theories but few studies. As a result, the skills that promote healing are rarely taught systematically in health science education or considered in clinician-patient interactions. The result is poor practitioner-patient interactions and missed opportunities to improve patient care.
Upon completion of the presentation, participants will be able to:
·Discuss information gathered from clinician interview
·Explore in detail why some patient interactions fail and others succeed;
·Develop a model of healing to guide future interactions with health care providers.
