2026-2027 Noon Webinar Series
Welcome to the 2026–2027 WVNEC Webinar Series, brought to you in collaboration with the Charleston Area Medical Center’s Geriatrics Lunch and Learn Program. Continuing education credits for this series are available and free through a generous grant from the CAMC Foundation.
Designed for clinicians, nurses, social workers, ethics committee members, health care and elder law attorneys, and health care administrators, this series explores four of the most complex and pressing ethical dilemmas encountered in contemporary clinical practice. Through case-based discussions, real-world applications, and relevant health law considerations, participants will gain practical tools to navigate patient-family-clinician relational breakdowns, conflicts between the health care surrogate and the patient’s advance directive, critical decisions for patients with limited capacity who refuse treatment, and the application of advance directives to critical life-threatening situations.
Our first webinar -- Avoiding a Crisis: Being Prepared When Advance Care Planning Documents Conflict with the Surrogate’s Decisions will be held on August 26, 2026 from Noon-1:00 p.m.
WVNEC would really appreciate your input and requests concerning educational opportunities. What do you want to learn, discuss, or practice? Do you want lectures, case discussions, policy sharing? Whatever it is, let us know, and we will do what we can to make distance learning/sharing as interesting and educational as possible.
