Complete the Apprentice Doctor® Behavioral Science in Medicine Course and get even the most difficult patients to open up
Here’s the thing…
There are huge gaps in medical training programs when it comes to patient communication. In fact, the programs often leave “people skills” for medical students to figure out on their own.
Yet, your communication skills are the key to understanding your patient’s medical problems.
The Apprentice Doctor® Behavioral Science in Medicine Course will take the guesswork out of talking to patients and give you the people skills you need for an exceptional medical career. After all, medicine is communication. But patients often find it difficult to discuss their symptoms, feelings and lifestyle choices.
And if that information remains locked up — if you cannot get a patient to talk — you are diagnosing in the dark. In other words, you can have the greatest medical skills, but to truly excel, you need a profound understanding of your patients’ psychological needs.
You need to know how to talk to your patients. With the Apprentice Doctor® Behavioral Science in Medicine course, you’ll learn how to communicate with confidence and turn the most difficult patient into a trusting communicator.
You’ll learn skills that seasoned practitioners wish they’d had when they started out.
Take the stress out of patient communication today.
