Relationship Centered Care - A Balint Approach
February 24-25, 2012
The Navigation Center at Borgess Hospital, Kalamazoo, MI
Come explore the physician-patient relationship in a small group environment led by credentialed Balint group leaders. Balint groups are designed to decrease burnout and increase understanding, meaning, and satisfaction in the work of health-care professionals. This workshop will help physicians, psychotherapists, and others who see patients to become more effective with patients and reconnect with colleagues in a supportive learning environment. Previous Balint group experience is not necessary.
