In the third episode of our Grief and Loss podcast series, UConn School of Social Work students Jasmine Morris and Melissa McCann explore the vital topic of palliative care education for healthcare students, joined by Dr. Germine Soliman, a leader in palliative care and geriatric oncology at UConn Health and an Assistant Clinical Professor at the UConn School of Medicine. Dr. Soliman shares her insights and experiences working with both patients and students. Together, we discuss the importance of equipping future healthcare professionals with the skills and confidence to navigate conversations around grief, loss, and end-of-life care. Recognizing a gap in our own education, we hope this episode encourages fellow students to join us in learning more about this essential aspect of patient care.
