Mental Health Conference Series: Enhancing Communication with Pediatric Patients and Families in the Hospital Setting

February 22, 2022

Communication is the most common “procedure” in medicine. The ability to communicate openly and with compassion is essential and, at times, even more crucial and complicated with pediatric patients and their families than with adult patients. Please join us to hear pediatric neuropsychologist Dr. Brandon Korman provide practical guidance to enable clinicians to communicate effectively in common pediatric settings and situations.

Target Audience

Primary Care Physicians, Family Practice Physicians, Emergency Medicine Physicians, Neurologists,  Psychiatrists, Nurses, Social Workers, Respiratory Therapists and other interested clinical care providers.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe why provider-patient communication so important and when it is “good enough".
  • Identify how cultural background, family dynamics and other psychosocial factors can affect the communication process, and how meeting families where they are facilitates positive interactions.
  • Consider the importance of developmental factors and use them to improve messaging and compliance. 
  • Discuss the power of empathy as a universal communication tool, and describe the strengths and weaknesses of various communication strategies.
