Motivational Interviewing for Healthcare Professionals: Core Skills Workshop

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based, patient-centered communication approach to increase patient motivation for making health behavior changes. Examples of behavior change targets in the healthcare setting include: medication adherence, eating and exercise behaviors, weight management, smoking cessation and substance use.

A common challenge for healthcare professionals is addressing ambivalence in patients who would benefit from making a health behavior change. Among ambivalent patients, the traditional advice-giving approach commonly employed in healthcare settings may not result in behavior change, and may even lead to resistance.

We invite you to join us for the virtual Motivational Interviewing - Core Skills Workshop to learn practical, evidence-based communication techniques for increasing patient motivation for health behavior change.

Registration Fee (all attendees) = $100.00

Please note that space is limited to 75 attendees.

1. Identify clinical opportunities to use Motivational Interviewing to help patients move towards health behavior change.
2. Incorporate Motivational Interviewing skills, such as identifying patient "change talk.”
3. Incorporate Motivational Interviewing techniques to build patient motivation for behavioral change.
4. Utilize Motivational Interviewing techniques to effectively create a patient Brief Action Plan.
