Abstract

The National Academies Roundtable on Quality Care for People with Serious Illness, National Cancer Policy Forum, and Forum on Aging, Disability and Independence hosted a workshop that examined opportunities to better support family caregiving for people with cancer or other serious illnesses. This workshop built upon previous work, including the 2016 consensus report Families Caring for an Aging America. This Proceedings of a Workshop summarizes the discussions held during the workshop, which focused on: strategies to better capture, understand, and act on family caregiver input and experience; research gaps and opportunities to guide caregiving for patients with serious illnesses; potential policy and practice opportunities to advance family-centered care for serious illness; and opportunities to embed a health equity focus across family caregiving research, policy, and practice.

Abstract

Due to the current paradigm shift from traditional teaching to a mixed model with the inclusion of e-learning strategies, reforms in clinical education models are necessary and must carefully consider the socio-professional changes needed to support such efforts. Further study of the implementation of clinical and virtual reality education simulators in education, the irreplaceable role of teaching in the design of advanced roles for health professionals, and the role of education in the continuing professional development are all necessary for the future of successful allied health professional education. The Handbook of Research on Improving Allied Health Professions Education: Advancing Clinical Training and Interdisciplinary Translational Research discusses a range of important topics related to medical and health professions education and clarifies purposes, processes, and future priorities in introducing changes in the educational system. Covering topics such as new technologies and patient safety, this major reference work is ideal for researchers, practitioners, academicians, industry professionals, instructors, and students.
