Healthcare Communication Training

Clinician communication skills impact outcomes for patients, their loved ones, the healthcare system and clinicians themselves. Fortunately, a robust body of evidence shows that communication skills are teachable.

Through the Center for Bedside Medicine's ALIGN program, courses in these communication skills are available for Northwestern Medical students, residents, fellows, and faculty. Learn more through a robust group of medical educators who specialize in optimizing communication skills.

In addition, clinicians may participate in simulation-based mastery learning courses through Northwestern Simulation to advance designing and implementing mastery learning in their curricula.
