Introduction to the INPCS Education Speaker Series


The INPCS Education Speaker Series aims to educate and empower providers, their teams,
persons living with neurologic disease, and care partners.

Quarterly themes will set the stage for Education Speaker Series content.
Each series will address important topics in neuropalliative
care for all groups affected by neurologic disease.

Objectives:

  • To increase awareness and understanding of important and less commonly discussed topics in neuropalliative care and topics unique to the palliative care of individuals with neurologic disease
  • To create engaging educational content that is concise, digestible, and accessible to those interested in learning more about issues in neuropalliative care
  • To address topics that are inclusive of all audiences regardless of background or role in the care team
