What an important opportunity for OTs to play a role in palliative and end-of-life care. This was a great course, and the instructor was excellent. It gave me a lot to think about.

Beth is knowledgeable and passionate about this area of practice. In my current area of practice, end of life situations happen regularly, and once a patient is scheduled for ventilator terminal weaning, or is placed in hospice care occupational therapy services are ended. Therefore,this information truly enlightened me regarding the role of occupational therapy in the terminally ill and end of life patient.

Wonderful course & very needed exploration of this important role at EOL for OTs to be able to move into... I have been wondering about this a lot and have been hoping for someone to highlight EXACTLY what Dr. Torres teaches in this course, as well the experiences she shares. This emerging OT role will require ongoing advocacy in order for patients to benefit from OT services, and for OTs to become increasingly able to provide our skills at this very important time in people's lives. Thank you!

This course was very encouraging for those of us who work in LTC and SNF settings with this type of client. Often times education other members of the healthcare team on how therapy can help clints on hospice or at EOL is challenging and this course helps educate on the importance of advocating for this care for clients who can benefit.

I am an OTA who is also a hospice volunteer and has gone through End of Life Doula training. I *absolutely* think there is value in OT at EOL and hope that more info like this will someday bring the US to par with England and Australia in the use of OT at EOL. I will save her phrase about "occupational participation, not occupational performance." Exactly so. I also have done work with Dignity Therapy via my EOLD training and was excited to see it applied here in an OT approach.

Often times in the acute care hospital we as therapists are told to cancel therapy orders for patients who are going on hospice; and while I understand it depends on how imminent their death is, I see this is as a missed opportunity to provide comfort and grace to patients. I appreciated this course for providing excellent ideas for managing expectations and improving quality of life for the end of life patient and their family.

It is a topic of OT that I have recently been intrigued about as my current rotation at my acute care facility is on the cancer/oncology and CHF/COPD populations where we often meet the therapy vs hospice debate. I have found myself wondering where we stand in this role and have been advocating for OT as a way to engage in meaningful occupations to increase QOL for patient - this helped me find reassurance in OTs role

A lot of times, this topic is not covered or is glossed over. In the past decade, I have seen more terminal and end of life patients come into SNF than ever before. I would love the opportunity to work with some of them if it is appropriate. I feel this course helped me see the value of OT for many of these folks, and that I can be there for them and their family and help them get back to a meaningful life.

Amazing course!! Loved Dr. Torres' use of case studies, reports, goal writing, treatment ideas on a subject that OT's are so poised to participate in but not much has been done in this area even though the need is especially prevalent recently. I pray that AOTA does more advocacy in this area so that other health professionals can see the benefit of OT in this area. Bless you as you continue to advocate and work in this area and help those who are end of life by empowering them.
