Who is it for?

The Essential Conversations – Applied module is designed for health care professionals—including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, social workers and others—who want to communicate more effectively and confidently with patients and families facing serious illness.

Future LEAP integration

When launched, the Essential Conversations – Applied module will be included in select LEAP courses, with plans to bring this new simulation experience to additional courses and learning opportunities over time. Stay tuned for more information!

Learning outcomes

By the end of the Essential Conversations – Applied module, learners will be better able to:

  • Apply communication approaches to navigate complex and emotionally charged conversations with patients and families experiencing serious, life-limiting illnesses.
  • Adapt their communication in response to patient and family cues, emotions and changing needs throughout a conversation.
  • Reflect on how their words, pacing and presence shape conversations and use feedback to strengthen their communication approach.
  • And more.
