The inclusion of end-of-life doulas is emerging as an important new option for patients and their families. Given the increasing numbers of doulas now in healthcare, it is important to understand the role doulas play in patient care at the end of life and how they can complement interdisciplinary teams in hospice and palliative care. Through lecture, case studies and discussion, participants will explore historical and societal factors that led to doula work, services provided by doulas in end-of-life work and their approaches in patient care.
