"Communicating Unexpected News" Curriculum

Due to the recent Canvas security incident, our curriculum materials are unavailable. Instructure has discontinued the Free for Teacher platform. Additional information from Instructure is available here. At Jack’s Basket, we are working to identify an alternative option to house this resource. Please reach out to medicaloutreach@jacksbasket.org with any questions. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

“The curriculum addresses the heart of becoming a better, more compassionate, and effective provider.” -Dr. M, Pediatrician

We know that communication skills can be taught and modified. This curriculum will improve healthcare provider communication and enhance patient-provider relationships by equipping them with the knowledge, strategies, and communication techniques required to deliver unexpected news to patients and their families without bias. 

This free, self-guided curriculum was created by providers for providers and is for all Medical Learners. It is worth 10 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™.*
