Emotional Intelligence

This workshop is approved for two (2) in-person format Continuing Medical Education (CME) AAFP credits.

As a medical professional, you cannot overestimate the importance of your Emotional Intelligence (EI). EI comprises self and social awareness along with self and social management. Data shows that 95% of people think they are self aware, but those same studies show us that only 15% actually are. In this workshop, Aimee Bucher breaks down the steps necessary to understand your emotional intelligence levels and provides the tools you need to improve. Participants leave this workshop with an increased understanding of themselves and the dynamics of communication within their teams, as well as new ways to communicate with patients that build trust and maximize patient and family understanding.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this activity, learners will be able to:

  1. Analyze their own EI
  2. Extrapolate how their EI affects their communication with patients, staff and colleagues
  3. Assess how EI improves outcomes
  4. Design a plan to improve their EI

Empathy and Self Compassion in the Practice

This workshop is approved for two (2) in-person format Continuing Medical Education (CME) AAFP credits.

Clinician empathy is linked to improved patient outcomes, reduced patient pain, and staff retention. Self-compassion is crucial for positive, healthy relationships both with patients and employees in the office. In this workshop, participants will examine their levels of empathy and self-compassions. We will identify the three forms of empathy and when each one is appropriate both with patients and employees. Participants will learn why self compassion is important, and discuss how self-compassion informs the difference between self-sacrifice and self-harm. The workshop closes with practical ways medical professionals can increase their empathy, self-compassion and build a plan for stress management within their practice.

  1. Measure their level of both empathy and self-compassion
  2. Distinguish various forms of empathy and when each one is appropriate both with patients and employees

Expanding LGBTQ+ Awareness & Understanding

This workshop is approved for two (2) in-person format Continuing Medical Education (CME) AAFP credits.

According to Gallup, over 7% of the US population identifies as some form of queer/LGBTQ. There is pressure to already know how to be inclusive and while many practitioners want to be inclusive, they don’t necessarily feel comfortable with the language or with their own level of understanding. This workshop focuses on a broad understanding of terms specific to the LGBTQ community as well as redefining gender identity, gender expression, sex, and attraction. Participants leave this workshop with an expanded understanding of the LGBTQ community that shows up as both employees and patients in their offices. 

Learning Objectives

At the end of this activity, learners will be able to:

  1. Comprehend the terms specific to the LGBTQ community, gender identity, gender expression, sex, and attraction
  2. Theorize how and why the LGBTQ+ community has different issues and medical requests (such as hormone replacement therapy)
  3. Determine best practices for a family physician to improve health outcomes and impactful relationships with employees and patients
social identities and bias icon

Navigating Social Identities and Bias in the Practice

This workshop is approved for two (2) in-person format Continuing Medical Education (CME) AAFP credits.

Social identity is one of the aspects of your “self-concept” — how you see yourself as a person. Social identities include things like generation, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, (dis)ability, political affiliation, relationship status, profession, and socioeconomic status. Along with your personal identity (e.g., personal attributes you use to describe yourself, like being tall or conscientious), social identity influences our values, the stories we tell about ourselves and others, and things that motivate us toward action. In this workshop, we look at our own social identities, how we are influenced by them, and how our identities play out at the organizational level. Powerful conversations, and ultimately, change come out of this workshop.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this activity, learners will be able to:

  1. Label various social identities such as generation, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, (dis)ability, political affiliation, relationship status, profession, and socioeconomic status
  2. Dissect how social identity influences our values, our motivations, and the stories we tell about ourselves, staff, patients and colleagues
  3. Discover how bias regarding social identity affects outcomes and communication
  4. Propose a plan to mitigate bias in your office setting
