Lead with Compassion: Communication Skill-Building Workshop is organized by UC San Diego School of Medicine, Continuing Medical Education and will be held from Jan 06 - 08, 2025.
Description:
Join us for a 2.5-day Healthcare Communication skill-building workshop for medical educators, physicians, nurses, and teaching artists. Through an interactive curriculum based in arts and humanities, this immersive session uncovers and develops your authentic style, and helps build your communication toolbox to become more adaptable when speaking with patients, students, funders, the media—and even your own family.
You’ll participate in discussions, innovative exercises, reflections, and build community to increase wellness. Our overarching goal is to rewire the way healthcare providers think about communication in medicine, and address the importance of awareness, self-healing, and self-compassion. This deep-dive experience can serve as a stand-alone opportunity or become your first step as a trainer to bolster your facilitation skills and learn ways of integrating these lessons into your curriculum. Our scaffolded program includes subsequent interactive sessions on Zoom, online modules with facilitation guides for integration into the classroom, and annual “booster” workshops to share best practices and help move the needle as a global community. Join the Center for Compassionate Communication to help us build stronger connections with patients, audiences, and ourselves.
