UBEC Facilitator training provides clinicians the skills and knowledge to establish, or assist with, the UBEC program in their hospital setting. Clinicians are educated in foundations of clinical ethics, moral distress, mapping moral distress, and communication and group facilitation skills. The training class size is small to provide ample opportunity to practice facilitating mock-UBECs with case discussion in a safe learning environment.
Training takes place over two 8-hour days. Day one covers foundations in ethics, group facilitation skills, empathy, and moral distress. Day two will focus on practicing facilitating UBECs, as well as acting and observing to gain different perspectives of the UBEC. Core faculty offer mentoring after the initial training and opportunities for follow-up training will be available.
We highly recommend individuals interested in becoming UBEC facilitators attend training with a colleague from their home institution. In our experience, having a partner both during training and post training promotes greater success in establishing a program.

IMPACT is a communication skills program designed to increase integration of primary palliative care into patient care.
The program was originally created by the palliative care team at UCSF based on the Vital Talk model to help ICU nurses develop key communication skills.
The program at IU Health provides training and support to bedside nurses in any clinical setting. It also assists other clinicians to develop communication skills for conversations about patient values and preferences for medical treatment. The IMPACT project has two main components: 1) a workshop to introduce and provide practice in key communication skills and 2) mentoring by clinicians trained as IMPACT faculty to support direct care providers as they screen and address palliative care needs for their patients.
IMPACT training has 3 levels:
