Program Description
Event Details
Join us in the Scott Room to learn about the crucial skill of doctor-patient communications.
Everyone is a patient at one point. Whether sick or well, communicating with doctors is a crucial skill - and a difficult one. Being able to express your priorities, symptoms, and concerns is often the difference between frustration and getting the care one needs. Dana Sherwin, a consultant and health services administrator, will give a five-part framework for identifying priorities and ensuring that you and your doctor are actively and productively partnering for promoting health and wellness.
There will be time for questions and answers following the presentation.
