Taking SICs Seriously: Unveiling South Asian Perspectives on Advance Care Planning

Part of our Updated & Innovations in Essential Conversations for the Health Care Team ECHO Series Based on a qualitative study exploring English-speaking South Asian Canadians’ perspectives using the Serious Illness Conversation Guide (SICG), this session will examine how cultural norms—generational differences, family decision-making structures, physician-patient power dynamics—shape engagement in serious illness conversations and advance care planning. Participants will review key findings, examine recommended adaptations to SICG phrasing, and walk through practical strategies to deliver culturally safe, values-aligned conversations in clinical practice Presenters: Dr. Amrish Joshi, Palliative Physician, Vancouver Coastal Health, Richmond Integrated Hospice-Palliative Care Program Monica Kelly, Lead, Goals of Care Support Team, Vancouver Coastal Health Dr. Sukaina Kara, Palliative Physician, Fraser Health Lara Musa, Regional Clinical Educator, Vancouver Coastal Health Richmond Professional Practice
