Planning the End of Your Life
Thursday, February 19, 6:00-7:30 PM | Wilda Marston Theatre
This "Planning the End of Your Life" workshop will share the documents - including an Advanced Healthcare Directive, Medical Power of Attorney, Will, and Disposition/Funeral Plan - you can complete now to make the end of life transition easier when it comes. UAA Health Sciences professor Dr. Corrie Whitmore will briefly describe the decisions outlined in these documents and discuss steps you can take today to prepare for the end of your life, whether it's expected next week or in the next century.
About the Speaker:
Dr. Whitmore is a lifelong Alaskan who returned to the state after completing an M.S. in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology at Virginia Tech—to help Alaska "grow our own" workforce. Her current research interests center around the role of trust in a patient-provider relationship, program evaluation, and effective teaching in the Health Science classroom. Dr. Whitmore's teaching invites story into the health policy classroom, partners evaluation students with community programs where they can apply their learning to support operations, and introduces students to what public health looks like in Alaska.
