Communications workshop available for clinical staff

Physicians, advanced practice providers (APPs) and nurses across Yale New Haven Health and Yale Medicine are urged to sign up for “Enhancing Relationship-Centered Communication,” a course offered through YNHHS Patient Experience.

This one-day, peer-led workshop will show how communication can improve health outcomes, patient satisfaction and professional engagement. The session includes didactic presentations, live demonstrations and practice activities with guided feedback to enhance relationship-centered communication skills. The goal of this course is to improve interactions between healthcare professionals and patients as well as conversations with colleagues and staff. The workshop also teaches clinicians to be more mindful in their approach with patients and families.

Sessions are available through April. Upon completion, participants will receive 7 AMA PRA Category 1 credits.
