SBI Live Webinar: Communication Skills and Working with a Multidisciplinary Team
Presented by: Katerina Dodelzon, MD, FSBI
Effective communication is one of the pillars of providing breast imaging care both through patient-centered encounters and in the leading of multidisciplinary care teams. Effective patient-centered communication in breast imaging is one of the main modifiable factors associated with healthcare disparities and overall patient-outcomes, as well as impacting radiologists’ well-being. In this live webinar, Dr. Dodelzon discusses the evidence-based impact of effective patient-radiologist communication on both patient outcomes and radiologists’ well-being, reviews evidence-based steps in achieving an effective patient-centered encounter along the entire breast imaging care continuum, and provides an approach to working and leading a multidisciplinary team. This webinar will enable attendees to recognize the importance of patient-centered communication and multidisciplinary collaboration, and come up with strategies to ensure effective patient-centered communication across common challenging patient encounters thus providing tools which can be employed by the attendees in their own practice setting.
