About this course

In today's evolving healthcare landscape, understanding near-death experiences (NDEs) and their clinical significance has become increasingly essential. As awareness of NDEs grows across diverse cultural contexts, the demand for clear definitions and evidence-based insights into their underlying mechanisms continues to expand. This training offers a comprehensive exploration of seven contemporary causal theories, highlighting their strengths and limitations. With NDEs profoundly influencing individuals both immediately and over the long term, healthcare professionals will gain critical skills in recognizing and addressing these unique experiences. The course underscores the importance of diagnostic precision, incorporating the nuanced use of DSM-5 Z-Code 65.8 (formerly DSM-IV V-Code 62.89) and introducing updated assessment tools for differential diagnosis. By the end of this training, participants will master therapeutic strategies specifically designed for the NDE population, fostering a holistic, empathetic, and evidence- informed approach to care.

I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
