The BEH training during PGY-1 focuses on advancing residents':
Clinical Interviewing Skills:
Use time-sensitive, patient-focused, culturally-informed interviewing skills to optimize physician-patient relationship and collaborative, patient-centered care.
Bio-psycho-social Inquiry Skills:
Assess and address emotional aspects of illness, stress, mind-body connection, family/role impact, and cultural beliefs.
Professionalism:
Self-reflection in clinical practices, impact of personal attitudes and behaviors on patient care.
Ethical issues: informed consent, patient autonomy, confidentiality, quality of care, self-direction in learning.
Punctuality, timely communication, and self-directed learning.
BEH training aims to deliver clearly defined, behaviorally-anchored interviewing skills as well as metrics for learners’ self-assessment.
Training will be delivered via the following:
