Videos of Doctors Talking with Real Patients

Studies have shown that effective doctor patient communications are strong predictors of health outcomes. Communication skills are, therefore, critically important to health and healing in the acute and chronic care of patients.
The Bravewell Collaborative, with funding support from the Urban Zen Foundation, and the advice of Dr. Mack Lipkin, produced a set of videos of doctors talking with real patients; an accompanying teaching manual; and a lecture presentation. This resource is available free of charge.

Also available is a set of 5 minute clips of video about the patient-provider relationship.
