Module 1 - Making connections

The way we communicate is an important factor in how we interact with others, whether we are consulting with patients, interacting with colleagues, or simply having a conversation. The focus of the workshop is to work with participants to enhance their skills required to actively listen to and build rapport with patients and their caregivers.
