Culture & End of Life applies the LEARN framework as the basis for negotiating mutual understandings of the illness experience and the course of treatment. After a brief introduction, case studies with African- American, Hmong, Japanese American, Native America, Southern Baptist, and Spanish-speaking patients are used to demonstrate the steps and invite problem solving and the application of LEARN. Culture & End of Life teaches communication skills that do not require prior knowledge of the patient's culture.
