28953 - THE LANGUAGE OF CARE: EFFECTIVE PATIENT–DOCTOR COMMUNICATION (IN-PERSON)

Delivery Options In-Person

CWRU-Siegal Lifelong Learning

Course Description

There has been increasing focus on doctor–patient communication as a key element of quality care. Research shows that active, skills–based learning improves clinicians’ ability to communicate with patients and families. Yet communication is a two– way process. The doctor–patient dyad involves a relationship and encounter between two people, and outcomes can be enhanced when patients also strengthen their communication skills. This two– part workshop series shifts the focus to the patient’s role. Participants will learn practical, concrete steps to use when “wearing the hat of a patient” to make healthcare conversations clearer, more effective, and more efficient. By improving our own skills, we can better understand providers, express our needs, and take a more active role in our care.
