Emerging Leaders in Mental Health: On-Demand Course

Emerging Leaders in Mental Health: On-Demand Course is organized by McLean Hospital.

Start Date: January 2, 2024
End Date: January 1, 2027

Description:
While there are many things that are taught in graduate and doctoral programs or in medical schools and residency, many of the most important lessons about patient care are often learned from mentors and through hands-on experiences during one’s career.

Whether you are just launching your career or are mid-career seeking to expand your skillset, Emerging Leaders in Mental Health is for you.

Led by senior faculty from McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School who will share best practices, strategies, and evidence-based approaches to improving the patient care and provider experience, The Emerging Leaders course will help providers of all disciplines build upon their existing skills in three key areas:
• Growing trust and developing meaningful professional relationships with patients, even those who are closed off or are reluctant to engage
• Identifying common pitfalls related to providing an accurate diagnosis
• Building cultural competency through curiosity and patient partnership

Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
• Apply tried and tested strategies for building trust and enriching provider-client relationships
• Discuss the nuance often required to ensure diagnostic accuracy and treatment success
• Implement appropriate strategies to help inform how a patient’s mental health is affected by racial and cultural factors
