About
This educational forum designed for physicians (in clinical practice, administration and leadership) will explore complex relationships within the medical work environment. Problematic behaviors and managerial miscommunication impact a physician’s ability
to practice medicine effectively and the health care team’s ability to function smoothly. Participation in this course will help you develop techniques to address and resolve difficult relationships and stressful situations, as well as strengthen
relationships with other team members and patients.
This experiential course uses real (de-identified) workplace conflicts supplied in advance by attendees as examples for exploration and change. Didactic presentations combined with role-playing and focused feedback will help to improve your interactive
techniques and communication methods to make lasting changes.

The program is designed for physicians whose goals are to improve their leadership skills and personal effectiveness with relationships at work, and their skills for addressing difficulties in the workplace environment as both practitioners or leaders.
