Description of CME Course
During the medical interview, patients’ strong emotions tend to elicit strong emotions in their clinicians. Depending on clinicians’ skill and self-awareness, those emotions can lead to productive exploration of important clinical issues, or they can threaten therapeutic relationships. This module describes concepts and skills that help you to respond to patients’ intense expressions of sadness, fear, or anger in ways that not only promote patients’ healing, but also enhance your own self-awareness and growth as a clinician.
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.
