This course is intended for health care professionals who are fluent in a second language and would like to use the Serious Illness Conversation Guide to assess a patient’s wishes, values, and goals so that these can be documented so that patient’s wishes are respected.  The purpose of this online course is to provide health care professionals with a background to a palliative approach to care and access to translations of the guide which have been through a rigorous translation/back translating process. The wording of the questions has been tested with health care professionals, interpreters and translators and feedback has been collated to ensure that intent and meaning is accurately reflected.  The course offers insight into these conversations and the meaning and intention behind each carefully worded question.
