The FPM Mentorship is a “meeting place” to discuss client beliefs & behaviors which are holding them back. You won’t be looking at PowerPoint lectures. Instead you’ll teach each other from actual clients & discuss programming challenges with our faculty’s guidance.
How are you reframing the encounter so it’s addressing over-protective beliefs. 💥
It’s not about explaining, instead it’s about relating to our clients’ concerns, lived experience & goals, then arriving at a plan through shared decision making.
Learn evidence based practice & apply it on an individual basis.
“What are the things that you’re avoiding? What are the things we need to examine? That’s person-centered care.
We end up doing all these ridiculous tests that have nothing to do with the patient’s concerns. It tells the person I haven’t heard you.”
