In this webinar, we will describe the challenges that have resulted from our ever improving ability to diagnose problems in utero. Specifically, we will explore how to apply the principles of palliative care to effectively support a woman who learns her unborn child has a life-limiting condition. In addition, one model of a fetal palliative care program will be described as a way to practically implement these principles.
