The Palliative Care Friday Chalk Talks are a weekly, 20-30 minute, short-and-sweet, live audience, presentation and discussion, for the entire multidisciplinary Palliative Care team. A grassroots project involving Palliative Care programs globally; providing the opportunity to share knowledge, experiences, and lessons learned with other PC specialists. Presentations are focused on narrow topics meant to spark further interest and provide listeners with pearls of wisdom to impact their practice. We put an emphasis on the entire multidisciplinary team by having a diverse range of guest speakers (social workers, chaplains, nurses, physicians, pharmacists, fellows, ethicists, therapists, & more).
Disclaimer: The Chalk Talks are not medical advice. If you are a clinician: read the literature and draw your own conclusions. If you are a patient: consult your clinician. But either way we hope that these recordings spark your interest in these fabulous topics.

We are having some technical difficulties with our video editing software. Once resolved (likely early next week), we will upload this morning’s episode on headaches in Neuro Oncology. Cheers!
