We focus on cultivating a mindful and compassionate approach to communication, which can lead to improved patient satisfaction, reduced errors, and enhanced teamwork.

For example, we might role-play a high-stress situation, like a patient codes, and have our students practice communicating effectively in that situation. We also use case studies to illustrate how mindful communication can improve patient outcomes and reduce errors.
