Description of CME Course
Building and sustaining relationships with children and their family members is an ongoing task that includes a set of skills that can be improved with knowledge and practice. Communication between clinician, child and family involves conversation and relationship between human beings rather than simply the exchange of facts. A therapeutic and communicative relationship with the patient and family is the cornerstone of competent pediatric care. We can have meaningful conversations with children. Studies show that direct communication between clinician and child contributes to improved relationships, satisfaction with care, and better health outcomes.
