EVENT DETAILS

Dr. BJ Miller - What Really Mattters at End-of-Life

The Medical Humanities Initiative and the Medical Ethics Program will co-sponsor a talk by Dr. BJ Miller, a palliative care physician at Zen Hospice Project. Dr. Miller will talk about his experience in creating a dignified, graceful end-of-life for his patients. Miller’s passion for palliative care stems from personal experience -- a shock sustained while a Princeton undergraduate cost him three limbs and nearly killed him. But his experiences form the foundation of a hard-won empathy for patients who are running out of time.

"Not Whether But How: What really matters at end-of-life"
Moderator: Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, UCI School of Medicine
