Course Description:
We currently have a good understanding of the importance of patients taking an active role and being engaged in their own health. However, very few courses address specifically how we help patients go from being historically passive healthcare consumers to being actively engaged in their health. Through this intermediate-level course, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and athletic trainers will develop an understanding of the importance of patient engagement and garner concrete communication strategies to achieve it. The additional benefit to our profession and healthcare is that patients who are more engaged in healthy behaviors are more likely to opt for active treatments, like physical therapy, versus passive treatments, like surgery and pain medication.
