"How to Talk to your Doc – Health Care Communication to Get the Care you Need”
Jane Shaw– Associate Professor &Kat Sutherland– Assistant Professor
No matter what the setting, healthcare interactions are complex for everyone involved. How can you as a patient be your own best advocate to receive the care you need? This interactive workshop will equip you with four communication skills—agenda setting, open-ended inquiry, asking permission, and summary—to enhance conversations with your healthcare providers. We will define each communication skill, highlight what can be gained, and generate questions and phrases for practical use. Then we will practice the skills with engaging exercises, so you can implement them during your next healthcare visit.
