Training

"1. Initial Training: The training program for clinicians randomized into the intervention arm will be 2.5 hours. The project will be introduced and the Serious Illness Conversation Guide shared. The training session will include a brief didactic session on Challenges in discussing advance care planning/values and goals followed by practice using the SICG.~2. Coaching and Feedback: We will also provide individual coaching for clinicians. Clinicians will be able to contact the study doctor to request coaching/debriefing on a challenging case; one of the investigators will respond within 24-48 hours for urgent or distressing cases (up to 72 hours on weekends). In-the-moment coaching will be by telephone or in person."
