Talking With Your Doctor – (Virtual)

Come away from this session with tips to encourage collaboration and improve communication with your doctor(s) and other healthcare professionals.

Event Details

Peer facilitators lead this 1.5 hour interactive workshop to empower patients to be active participants in their health care and communicate more effectively with our doctor(s) and other health care professionals. Using the PACE framework, we explore common challenges with doctor-patient interactions and learn techniques on how to improve them.

Learn how to:

• Be prepared for your visit
• State your concerns clearly and honestly
• Provide a complete description of your condition
• Ask questions about your condition and its treatment
• Express problems with prescribed treatments
