Thursdays:聽聽聽聽聽聽 February 25, March 3, 10, and 17, 2016
5-630pm
Room 426, 4th Floor, Student Union Building

Whether speaking with a patient, providing consultation to a physician, or discussing an issue with another health care colleague, pharmacists actively listen for understanding, empathy and accuracy. Active listening enhances conversations and is an essential counselling skill.

These skills are valuable when working with patients and colleagues and will improve how you communicate in your personal relationships. They are also very helpful in preparation for the communication scenarios you will experience if the School of Pharmacy you are applying to uses the multiple mini interview (MMI) protocol.

This four session experiential program is a highly practical and interactive opportunity to enhance your communication skills by:

路听听听听听听听听 examining the skills of effective listeners;

路听听听听听听听听 聽reflecting on your communication style;

路听听听听听听听听 聽identifying common communication problems and barriers;

路听听听听听听听听 聽examining the role of non-verbal communication;

路听听听听听听听听 聽refining effective questioning skills;

路听听听听听听听听 聽increasing your ability to listen empathically; and

路听听听听听听听听 聽developing and practicing listening and responding skills.

You will be working both individually and in small groups on a variety of exercises, discussions and skill building role-plays. Practice and skill development is done in a safe and supportive environment.
