Topic: Improving Patient Provider Communication
In this course, students will learn how to improve patient-provider communication. Specifically, space will be created to lean in to challenging conversations, honor differences, and facilitate powerful communication regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare. Students will work collaboratively to understand actionable steps to improve patient-provider interactions as we practice mindfulness, demonstrate compassion, dismantle implicit bias, embrace cultural humility, and create a dialogue regarding our humanity within the world of healthcare. As a result, students who take this course will become more mindful, educated, and effective communicators.
