The assessment and response to the wish to hasten death in patients with advanced disease (ERDAM) course offered by the WeCare Chair of the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences aims to train health professionals in the management of the wish to hasten death that can occur in people with advanced disease.

The course provides training for professionals to explore, assess and address the wish to hasten death (DAM). Through exercises and assessment, candidates will demonstrate that they know how to address and manage these patients.

Objectives

  1. Train the student in the early detection of the wish to hasten death, as well as respond in a meaningful way, within a clinical context.
  2. Acquire theoretical knowledge about the aspects that underlie the appearance of the wish to hasten death.
  3. Acquire or improve self-confidence in complex conversations, specifically in the assessment and response to the wish to die.
  4. Acquire theoretical knowledge on the legislative and ethical framework around the manifestation of the wish to hasten death. 

Target professionals

Physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and other health disciplines in contact with patients who express a wish to hasten death.
