A New Kind of Heroism: A Better Path to End-of-Life with Dr Jessica Zitter


Dell Medical School Health Learning Building

Thursday October 4th 2018 5:00 pm –  8:00 pm

 New Kind of Heroism
A Better Path to End-of-Life Care
There is a public health crisis that touches all of us: people dying badly. Without knowing our options, we become subject to what Dr. Zitter calls the “end-of-life conveyor belt”; when mechanization and protocol override personal preference and collaborative decision-making.
Join Dr. Zitter as she explores the question; “What do we really want from ourselves, our loved ones and those entrusted with our care when it comes to death?”
Dr. Zitter will share her Academy Award-nominated film, “Extremis”, followed by her keynote “A New Kind of Heroism: A Better Path to End-of-Life-Care” and address attendee questions.
