Module 1: Inspiring Dialogue in the Consult through Healthcare Transparency and Open-ended Questions
Description

Communication Skills that will be emphasized:

  • Transparency
  • Open-ended Questions     

Module Description:

Transparency in healthcare is often discussed with regards to disclosure about medical mistakes; however, medical errors are not the only circumstance in which transparency may be warranted or desired. Building a culture of transparency also requires honesty and directness, both about known entities, such as diagnosis and prognosis, as well as that which is unknown. When clinical communication pairs transparency and open-ended questions, a frank dialogue results. This module will introduce the learner to both skills and provide opportunities to practice the delivery of each through an interactive simulated encounter.
