“Compassion in Practice” Continuing Education Course

The course, which will take place October 28 – 29 in Boston, is being offered by a collaborative group of partners including the Schwartz Center for Compassionate Healthcare, Massachusetts General Hospital, MGH Institute of Health Professions, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Mount Auburn Hospital, and The Arnold P.
