Serious Illness Conversation (SIC) Training

Our Serious Illness Conversation (SIC) trainings are interprofessional and geared towards helping providers build and/or enhance the language and skills needed to engage patients in Serious Illness Conversations more confidently. These conversations about goals, priorities and values help ensure that patients get the care they want, eliminate care that they don’t want, and enhance their quality of life in late-stage illness.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Demonstrate and practice using the Serious Illness Conversation Guide
  • Demonstrate and practice a few communication skills
    • Use of wish/worry statements that help align providers with patients
    • Identifying and exploring emotions
    • Use of “what else” and “tell me more” to deepen the conversation
