OFFERING INFORMATION:
As we start our third year of Hawaii's Our Care, Our Choice Act (OCOCA), please join us for our educational Series on the implementation of the law and models for normalizing and integrating end-of-life choices into standard medical care.

3. Examine the team approach to patient-centered management for end-of-life care and the interface with palliative care.
4. Examine the role of pharmacists in relation to medical aid-in-dying medications, the proper medication protocols for writing prescriptions and other resources, including the use and misuse of opioids.
