Updates on the Massachusetts Coalition for Serious Illness Care
Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) is one of the many Massachusetts medical schools to become part of the Massachusetts Coalition for Serious Illness Care. Members of this coalition include people from UMass, Tufts and Harvard.
This coalition is focused in developing a longitudinal curriculum on serious illness communication for medical students.

The curriculum will help medical students obtain knowledge, skills and inspiration to engage in goal-orientated conversations with their seriously ill patients.
