A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize and conduct a public workshop to explore issues related to supporting and sustaining the workforce to care for people with serious illness.

The workshop will feature invited presentations and discussions that may explore topics such as:
-- Impact of the pandemic on the workforce caring for people with serious illness
-- Importance of leadership, partnerships and care delivery models (such as palliative care)
-- Ways in which health care institutions and organizations and other health care partners can advance diversity, equity, and inclusion within the workforce.
