Listen

Description

One of the most important aspects of physicians caring for patients is communication. Without it, it can be difficult for doctors to help patients reach their health goals and stick to their treatment plans. With the increasing popularity of motivational interviewing being done by physicians, it raises the question of how it can impact patient care. In this episode, James Charpentier discusses the usefulness and growth of motivational interviewing as a communication strategy, and its effects on the direction of the healthcare system.
