SUMMARY:Empowered Patients\, Improved Outcomes: Strategies for Fostering Patient Advocacy and Engagement (A Healthcare Provider Training)
DESCRIPTION:Attention all healthcare professionals! Join Sharsheret and author Rebecca Bloom for a free\, one hour\, CE training. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis training is designed to help healthcare professionals build confidence and competence in welcoming\, supporting\, and actively encouraging patient self-advocacy. Participants will explore why patient advocacy is essential to high-quality\, patient-centered care and how it improves communication\, trust\, adherence\, and outcomes. Through evidence-informed discussion  the training addresses common discomforts clinicians may experience when patients ask questions\, challenge recommendations\, or seek second opinions. \nAttendees will learn strategies to create an environment where patients feel respected\, heard\, and empowered to participate in decision-making without undermining clinical expertise or efficiency. The program emphasizes skills such as validating patient concerns\, responding constructively to advocacy behaviors\, setting collaborative boundaries\, and partnering with patients as informed members of the care team. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree CE credit may be available through ASWB\, NYSW\, ANCC\, and ACCME. \nQuestions? Contact Melissa Rosen. \nRegister here. \n  \n \nRebecca Bloom is a Yale College and New York University School of Law educated patient and workplace advocate. \nA former workplace and benefits attorney\, Rebecca’s longest and proudest affiliation is with Bay Area Cancer Connections\, where she has served as a patient advocate and healthcare\, insurance and workplace advisor for women fighting breast and ovarian cancer for over 26 years.  \n Rebecca serves as a listener\, learner\, supporter and advocate for the women she supports around the country\, primarily one at a time but also in groups that she’s led and at conferences where she’s presented. Her knowledge of the complex rules that employers\, insurers and medical providers follow\, as well as the dynamics and incentives that exist between stakeholders helps her give the women she supports a constructive and comprehensive foundation so that they can integrate all available information with comfort and confidence and focus on recovery and wellness. Rebecca is also a professional storytelling coach\, helping her clients get their stories told and shared. She integrates mindful self-expression techniques into her advocacy.  \nRebecca’s mother and sister are breast cancer survivors and she’s experienced the complexity of a high-risk health journey first-hand.  \nHer book\, When Women Get Sick can be found here.
