October is Health Literacy Month! Celebrate by attending the Communicating with Patients Workshop.

Are you aware of your patients’ abilities to obtain, process, and comprehend health information? The literature indicates that health care providers overestimate what patients are able to understand. This workshop covers the basics of health literacy, provides a hands-on opportunity to put difficult medical jargon into plain language, and introduces tools that can assist you in creating easy-to-read materials.

The next workshop will take place November 20, 2014, from 1:30 to 3:00 PM at the Health Sciences & Human Services Library.
