May 18 Continuing Ed

Horses bring a unique energy, joy and playful nature to their interactions with humans as well as with each other. Observing their social behaviors helps us to discover and develop mindfulness, better communication skills and social sensitivity. This workshop is designed to help healthcare practitioners and students develop an awareness of the subtleties of self-presentation and communication which are necessary for a positive provider-patient relationship. Our interpersonal skills, as much as the factual clinical information, influence the quality and effectiveness of these relationships.
