Workshop Description:

This program will be divided into two parts: Issues affecting patient/client-provider communication at the micro level, and issues affecting their communication at the macro level.

At the micro level, we will discuss how to engage in interpersonal communication with patients, and moreover identify barriers to creating a dialogue of this sort. We look, in depth, about both verbal (e.g., message content) and nonverbal (e.g., tone of voice, body language, proxemics) aspects of communication in the process of meaning making, and in forging meaningful professional relationships within the healthcare context.

At the macro level, we will examine how social scripts guide, dictate, and even constrain social interactions. We will account for how metanarratives of race, gender, class, and so forth influence day-to-day interactions with patients.

Learning Objectives:

After attending this introductory-level workshop, participants will be able to:

– Implement specific communication practices in their interactions with patients that are designed to encourage the patient to (1) speak more, (2) elaborate or clarify, (3) show them that the provider is listening/interested.

– Become versed in the specific ways in which one’s race/ethnicity, gender, age, class, and so forth affect the quality of care they receive, and what providers can do in their own practice to overcome these obstacles and delivery quality healthcare to all.

Program Standards and Goals:

This program meets APA’s continuing education STANDARD 1.3: Program content focuses on topics related to psychological practice, education, or research other than application of psychological assessment and/or intervention methods that are supported by contemporary scholarship grounded in established research procedures.
