Event Details:
This session brings together deaf and hard-of-hearing practitioners and patients for an honest, insight-building conversation about communication in healthcare. Panelists will share how they’ve learned to navigate clinical environments, advocate for their needs, and build communication practices that support accurate care, trust, and safety. They’ll discuss what has worked, what has not, and what meaningful access looks like from both sides of the exam room — as providers striving to care for others and as patients working to have their own care needs understood. Participants will come away with deeper awareness of the diverse ways people communicate, practical strategies for fostering clarity and connection, and a better understanding of how thoughtful communication can create truly inclusive, effective healthcare experiences.
This workshop is part of the Cross-Cultural Clinical Professional Development Series.
Audience:
Students pursuing pre-health professional pathways (medicine, dentistry, physician assistant, nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, etc.) and public health students preparing for careers in community or clinical settings.
