New Podcast on the ABCs of BAC
Author
Howard (Jack) West, MD

In addition, we've got the final slides in pdf form, so people can follow along with the audio or just study them at your own pace, along with the transcript from the presentation:

Advance directives are a powerful way to take control of healthcare choices. These documents allow you to outline preferences for medical care and specify end-of-life wishes. These documents can also be a way to appoint loved ones who you would like to help with these decisions, such as a healthcare proxy (someone to make decisions on your behalf, if you cannot). As cancer treatments can involve aggressive treatments and/or complex medical management, having advance directives ensures that your desires regarding treatment options and end-of-life care are clearly communicated.
