There is a great deal to be gained by improving communication between patients, family caregivers, and healthcare professionals — especially physicians. Better care for patients, less stress for caregivers, more efficient use of doctors’ time, and improved satisfaction for all concerned can be achieved when caregivers and patients communicate effectively with their care team.
Doctors at MSK are learning how to talk to patients, caregivers, and peers through their Communication Skills Research & Training (COMSKIL) program.
In this webchat, MSK experts will discuss how patients and caregivers benefit from this training, as well as how you can use communication techniques, research, and information from the program when talking to your doctors and loved ones.
