Dear Friends, We hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day holiday and hope that your summer is a relaxing and enjoyable one! We have had many inquiries about setting up programs for medical professionals and wanted to devote this newsletter to this population.
|
In the News We are pleased to report that our article, "Keys to Optimal Patient Care," appeared in the May issue of Advance for Speech-Language Pathologists & Audiologists. This article has also appeared in numerous other Advance publications. If you missed the story, please click here http://www.successfully-speaking.com/documents/keys-to-optimal-patient-care.pdf.

Nursing and Physician Continuing Education Credits
If you are trying to market your programs to the medical community, it is worthwhile to speak with the continuing education director about how participants can obtain continuing education credit for participation in your accent course. Typically, the coordinators will require a list of training objectives and a pre- and post- assessment to process the appropriate paperwork through the hospital's continuing education department. Check with your local hospitals for more information.

Free Online CME tutorial on "Cultural Competency in Healthcare"
An online CME
tutorial, "Cultural Competency in Healthcare: A Clinical Review and Video
Vignettes From the National Medical Association," can be accessed at http://www.medscape.com/viewprogram/12540. Although it is geared towards the physicians and nurses working with
patients, there are many communication strategies in this tutorial that would
be beneficial to any healthcare provider.

RULES: Tip of the Month:
Proper
nouns are geographical locations such as continents, countries, states, cities,
islands, bodies of water, parks, roadways, mountains, tourist attractions,
museums, hospitals, airlines or cruise lines, sports teams, publications, and
people's names and titles. In two word proper nouns, each name is spelled with
a capital letter and the stress is on the second word; for example, Los Angeles is
one of the largest cities in Southern California.
An exception to this rule is the stress pattern for
streets, which stresses the first word; for example, Smith Street vs. Park
Avenue.
