As a Board Certified chaplain who has lived and worked in Latino/Hispanic communities for several years, the presenter will empower fellow chaplains with the skills and tools needed to provide effective pastoral care to, and to make a connection with, any patient in this population. The presenter will enable participants to differentiate between Latinos and Hispanics, become aware of the sub-cultures among Latinos, and understand the areas of sensitivity, need, and major concern for patients in each category. Having successfully established a pilot program for beginners in his hospital, the presenter will share his experience with participants enabling them to start their own program. The session will also showcase how easy and fun it is to learn Spanish.
As a result of this workshop, participants will:
- Understand how Latinos view chronic diseases, terminal illness, and death.
