Course details

More about this course
  • Showing an understanding of a patient's situation is one of the most important relationship-building skills that a healthcare provider can have. This is widely recognized in healthcare: the NHS in the UK recruits for compassion as one of its core values, and medical schools look for this in applicants at admissions interviews.
  • This course will help you develop an empathic practice that is individualized and attuned to the needs of all patients. You will learn about different types of empathy, explore non-verbal cues, and understand key opportunities for showing empathy in clinical care.
