EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES:

HIV/STI/TB/VIRAL HEPATITIS Lunch and Learn: Using the Contextual Interview to Deliver Compassionate Care

August 24th at noon
Person-centered care is gaining traction across the health care landscape. Most see this as a welcomed change and positive movement for both patients and clinicians (and others working in health care.) For this paradigm shift to be fully realized, health care professionals must provide contextual and compassionate care to patients traditionally marginalized, discriminated against, or simply more vulnerable to health difficulties. In this session, presenters will provide a framework to support providers in delivering contextual and compassionate care to their patients.
Objectives:

Describe the person-centered framework used to deliver contextual and compassionate care to their patients.
Identify strategies to have engaging conversations with patients about sexual health.
Detail ways to reduce stigma when screening for STIs, HIV, and monkeypox.
