What do those words mean?
It's easy to get confused when you're trying to complete your Advance Directives or talk with your doctor about end-of-life decisions.
There are so many unfamiliar terms. And it's not always clear what it means to say that you do or don't want any given procedure, or what to take into consideration.
This course will give you an overview of the most common terms, including what they mean and when you might (or might not) want to include them in your Advance Directives.
This course is free because everyone should have access to this basic information.
