Description
The communication bundle is a must have for clinicians!
This video bundle offers a progressive learning approach to advance your communication skills and improve patient and provider care satisfaction. Starting with learning the basic information to educate your patients (101), the learner moves on to handle the most common challenging situations that arise in DGBI care (101.5). Once these skills are acquired, the provider can learn more sophisticated methods to elicit underlying issues that generate the symptoms and the techniques to remedy them (202).
The Rome Foundation, in collaboration with DrossmanCare, and leveraging the Foundation’s global network of established experts in the field, develops educational programs in communication skills training aimed toward clinicians.
