1. Drawing on a brand new curriculum syllabus, this poster presentation will enable participants to demonstrate the goals, methods and outcomes of an interdisciplinary curriculum focused on spiritual care in the hospital setting, and equip them to implement it at their specific institutions. 2. Equip participants to evaluate the benefits of a creative, reflective, multi-discipline learning environment, and its relevance to clinical care. By investigating the connection between being present to another's humanity and being present in their own, participants will gain recognition of the need for holistic spiritual care -for patients and themselves. Last year at AAHPM, TJ Douglas received a standing ovation following their presentation about an innovative, interdisciplinary spirituality curriculum inaugurated at New York Presbyterian, partnering physicians and chaplains in a creative learning environment addressing the human spirit in medicine. This year they return with results from new adaptations / applications of the curriculum, and means for implementation at other institutions. Spiritual care is a key domain of quality Palliative care. Such care requires that medical teams address the human spirit, yet medical training overlooks care for the human spirit, making it challenging to identify and mitigate patients' spiritual distress. Spiritual needs are always culturally located; thus, appropriately addressing them leads to more holistic, sensitive patient care. The aims of our curriculum were: (1) Increase clinicians' spiritual generalist skills; (2) Equip them to work collaboratively with chaplains as spiritual specialists; (3) foster reflective space to connect to self and meaning in life and work. The authors designed a 16-hour curriculum in four sessions: (1) meanings of spirituality and relevance in clinical context (2) spiritual assessment models and the role of the chaplain (3) suffering in illness; (4) death and dying. Each session consisted of a case study, large group didactic, small group discussion, creative reflection, and cross-discipline partnered reflections. This year, we have three more result pools to share. Authors conducted post-program interviews using a questionnaire addressing changes in skills, awareness & knowledge, and welcomed narrative feedback. Physicians reported increases in the following: awareness of chaplain's role; frequency of chaplaincy referrals; understanding the importance of a patient's spirit in their care plan; skill in conducting spiritual screenings / histories; ability to traverse existential terrain with patients; awareness of how spiritual distress manifests; recognizing importance of caring for their own spirit in their work. Chaplains reported greater integration into the interdisciplinary team. This curriculum enhanced the competence of participants in navigating spiritual distress and fostered meaningful connection between disciplines. It suggests that cross-discipline learning facilitates greater integration of the human spirit in medicine (both patient and clinician), strengthening comprehensive patient-centered care and mitigating clinician burnout. It is a valuable resource for any patient-centered institution. Managing Suffering and Distress; Loss, Grief, Bereavement [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
