Better communication, better patient management workshop
[July, 2016]

Course outline:
​
Effective doctor-patient communication is a central clinical function in building a therapeutic doctor-patient relationship, which is the heart and art of medicine.  This is important in the delivery of high-quality health care.  Much patient dissatisfaction and many complaints are due to breakdown in the doctor-patient relationship. However, many doctors tend to overestimate their ability in communication.  The participants will learn a communication system which will maximise effective communication and more importantly, increase compliance and improve clinical outcome.

Course duration:  Saturday & Sunday

Cost:  $800 Member, $1500 Non-member

Location:  Chia-Fung Rehabilitation Hospital, Hsin-Chuang City, Taipei, Taiwan
