Professionalism in Oncology Care

The personal rewards of working in oncology are closely linked to the quality of relationships developed with patients and their families. How can you create a positive experience for every patient, even when time is limited?

You can use the behaviors that demonstrate competency and caring. These behaviors assure patients that you are good at what you do and that you are a caring, compassionate person. Consistent use of the behaviors builds and maintains a high degree of patient trust and confidence in you and your organization.

  • How to say the right thing – cancer etiquette.
  • Learn techniques to make telephone communications more effective, while reducing the length of calls.
  • Assess behaviors that create and maintain patient trust.
  • How to respond when people – even colleagues - are difficult.
  • Techniques to manage busy, stressful days with greater ease.

Attend this program to appreciate how you make a difference, even in brief relationships.
