Pain, Symptom & Disease-Specific Management
Sessions cover adjuvants for pain management, opioids for pain management, opioid rotation, and interventions for cancer pain, alongside disease-specific palliative care for cardiac, renal, and neurologic disease, cancer treatment toxicities with Sonal Admane, MD, plus nausea, dyspnea, cachexia, fatigue, and wound care.
Ethics, Communication & Whole-Person Care
Modules address challenging conversations in palliative care, ethical and legal decision-making, spiritual care, and grief and bereavement, along with sleep disturbance (Sriram Yennu, MD) and medication interactions (Matthew Clark, PharmD).

The course closes the loop with the Medicare hospice benefit, interdisciplinary team practice and burnout (Suresh Reddy, MD), opioid safety and risk mitigation (Joseph Arthur, MD), integrative pain approaches (Larry Driver, MD), prognostication, and a dedicated session on how to take the exam.
