Description of CME Course
Closing an interview is a complex endeavor, and your success depends both on your skillful approach to preceding interview segments and the skills you employ in the closing moments. The closure of any patient encounter includes specific behaviors and interactions that influence the patient’s implementation of plans, the patient’s health, and the patient-clinician relationship. Yet, studies indicate that the closing moments of an encounter are quite brief. Effective beginnings facilitate successful completions, so your skillful execution of earlier interview segments greatly facilitates effective closure.
Diplomate Engagement
Self-assessment questions tailored to each specific module topic are required upon module completion. Multiple choice questions required; open-ended discussion questions are optional.
