Dec. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- We’ve got a lot planned for you in the New Year: a newly designed home page to make it easier for you to find what you need (coming very soon), faster course navigation, and many new course topics.

To make room for the new, we will retire the below courses on 12/31/2014. Take a look and see if there are any courses you’d like before they’re gone forever! You’ll still have 3 years to complete for credit.

Ethics in Psychotherapy: Practical Tips I is a 2-hour online course. This course addresses a variety of topics in psychotherapy ethics in the form of archived articles from The National Psychologist.

Talking with Your Older Patient: A Clinician’s Handbook is a 2-hour online course. Advising an older man about starting an exercise program . . . counseling a woman about the proper way to take her osteoporosis medication . . . discussing end-of-life care options with the family of a long-time older patient who is dying. These are just some examples of the complex and sensitive issues facing clinicians who treat older people. Health care providers who communicate successfully with older patients may gain their trust and cooperation, enabling everyone to work as a team to handle physical and mental health problems that might arise. Effective communication techniques, like those discussed in this handbook, can save time, increase satisfaction for both patient and practitioner, and improve the provider’s skill in managing the care of his or her patients. Ongoing communication is key to working effectively with your older patient. If a patient does not follow recommendations or starts missing appointments, explore whether or not a difficulty in communication has developed. Paying attention to communication increases the odds of greater health for your patient and satisfaction for you both. Closeout Course #20-60 | 2008 | 66 pages | 15 posttest questions
