The Death & Dying Fellowship takes on a key challenge: the reality that professionals are not well prepared to deal with death, dying, and grieving families, especially during an era of COVID-19. The Fellowship allows participants to learn, confront, and discuss the legal, medical, social, cultural, familial, and spiritual aspects of death and dying within a multidisciplinary group in a low-pressure environment. The sessions will include opportunities to practice conversation skills, facilitated conversations, and site visits.

When

The 2023 Death and Dying Fellowship will be held on Mondays from 5–8 pm, January 23 to March 27, with in-person sessions in downtown Pittsburgh January 23 and March 20 and local site visits on February 27 and March 6 (participants select at least one).
