FOR THE EVENT
Engaging Differing Perspectives on Health: The Case of Inpatient “Doris”
October 26, 2020, 3:30–5:20 pm
“Doris” is an elderly woman hospitalized with congestive heart failure who does not accept many of the recommendations made for her care.  Her ongoing refusals create conflict amongst team members, who hold different perspectives on how best to care for her. This case-based session is an opportunity for students to experience tension within their teams, and to practice engaging constructively when there is inter-professional conflict.
