| Overview |
|
The Professionalism Series consists of 12 modules. Module 7:
Communication addresses the transtheoretical model of change,
which is an approach you can use in daily practice to assist
patients/clients in making long-term behavioral changes. It also
covers the evidence supporting the importance of good communication
skills in physical therapy practice and reviews the roles and
competencies within teams that can enhance or hinder effective
communication. Additionally, it addresses how generational
differences can influence practitioner and patient/client
expectations of what constitutes appropriate communication while it
also considers several principles of effective communication that can
serve to enhance discourse between physical therapists and
physicians.
