Dr. Ventimiglia's lectures focus on doctor-patient communication and its impact on the patient's clinical outcome. The presentations build upon the practitioner's foundational communication knowledge and skills (e.g., health data collection and information dissemination) to advanced communication techniques that improve their empathic listening, promote collaborative decision-making, and encourage the use of a guiding communication style.
In addition, the lectures discuss the importance of the provider's awareness and sensitivity to the unique determinants of the health of a culturally diverse patient population and the communication skills needed to address them.
The overarching objective is to provide the doctor with the skills needed to promote patient empowerment and will lead to improved health behavior choices.
