Advancing Skills in Patient Engagement Training
Advancing Skills in Patient Engagement Training
Advancing skills in Engagement & moving towards MI proficiency
During this highly interactive, multi-session training series, the learner will advance their skills in Motivational Interviewing. Learners will be offered multiple learning methods such as didactic discussion, small and large group practice, introspection, videos, hypothesis generation, low-stakes testing, and self-study. Evaluation of progress will be measured with knowledge tests and skill observation with individualized feedback and coaching.
The literature is clear on what it takes to master the evidence based, complex communication style of Motivational Interviewing. Practitioners require knowledge and skill lessons, knowledge and skill practice and most importantly, feedback on how well they are translating the lessons into actual practice. This course is designed to follow these recommendations and will provide the learners with the experiences necessary to acquire this valuable skill.
At the conclusion of this training course, the participant will be able to:
- Describe Motivational Interviewing; Purpose, benefits and limitations.
- Summarize each of the 4 processes in Motivational Interviewing.
- Recognize differences between engagement helps and harms.
- Use the MI fundamental skills: Listening, open-ended questions, affirmations, reflective listening and summarization in baseline, mid-point and final skills assessment measurements.
