YCSC Compassionate Care Rounds: Angels and Visions—Tragedy and Hope in a Specialized Children’s Hospital

This session will discuss a challenging clinical case through a multidisciplinary lens, exploring its complexities and some of the clinical considerations pertaining to a unique treatment setting. A collaboration between Blythedale Children's Hospital and the Yale Child Study Center will also be showcased, highlighting it as a special resource serving kids with major medical needs.

The objectives for this session are to:

1. Familiarize participants with a unique resource in our scope serving kids with major medical needs.
2. Support reflection on how to manage clinical situations that elicit strong affect in the patient, family, staff, etc.
3. Support reflection on how to sustain empathy and cohesion in the multidisciplinary care team when the length of stay is long, the prognosis tough, and the family is grieving.

Internal participants are encouraged to attend sessions in person​​​​​. Recordings are posted on-line as soon as they are available.
