Meeting Cancelled
In light of the growing concerns over the positive spread of the COVID-19, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the North Central District "Exploring the Legal and Moral Aspects of Patient Centered Care" course scheduled to take place on March 18. A new date will be announced closer to fall and full refunds will be issued in the manner they were paid. We ask for everyone's patience as we work through processing refunds and planning for a fall course.

Course Description:
Exploring the Legal and Moral Aspects of Patient Centered Care is a course that will address the importance of teaching and mentoring patient centered care as a legal and ethical imperative. The course will explore various models of clinical reasoning and problem solving with strategies for making these thought processes transparent to teach and mentor this critical skill for patient centered care while incorporating the importance of interprofessional practice as key to optimizing patient outcomes. Informed consent/refusal will be emphasized as a means for narrative reasoning to better engage the patient in the decision making process. We will also examine the impact of health literacy, risk and overall challenges to meeting the standards of informed consent/refusal and providing optimal care. Finally, we will discuss strategies for securing and documenting informed consent/refusal, especially in relation to protecting self and your practice. Small and large group discussion along with case-based discussion will allow participants to apply content learned.
