Training

Welcome to the Center for Advancing Serious Illness Communication and our three-module training series which will introduce you to serious illness communication and to the Serious Illness Conversation Guide.  This is an evidence-based tool developed by Ariadne Labs, which is a joint center for health systems innovation at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

There is no cost to take this training, and we welcome all members of care teams who work with patients with serious illnesses. It’s important that you take the modules in sequence, as each subsequent module builds on the knowledge gained in previous modules. 

These modules are CME-eligible for physicians.  Other health professionals who participate in this CME activity may submit their Statement of Attendance to their appropriate accrediting organizations or state boards for consideration of credit.
