Cognitive and Social Influences During the Clinician/Patient Interaction

Spring 2022 CIPhER seminars will only be offered via Zoom.

12:00-1:00 p.m., Wednesday, January 12, 2022, Via Zoom

The program will explore patients’ (and clinicians’) cognitive and social factors that can influence the clinical interaction. Patients do not enter a consultation or examination room with a clean slate or a perfectly open mind, nor do clinicians. They bring cognitive ‘baggage’, in the form of memory limitations, inefficient decision making, stereotypes, belief in misinformation, personal goals that are usually ill-defined, uncertain ability to project into the future, and irrational behaviors. But these are not necessarily problems for the clinician; instead, they simply represent how people work, and if understood can affect how the patient and clinicians interact to find common ground. This seminar’s emphasis on cognition and social cognition is intended to lead to improved interpersonal relationships and awareness of biases that subtly affect behavior.

Learning Objectives: At the end of this program, participatns will be able to:

Describe common biases and limitations that affect patient decision making
Identify their own cognitive and social tendencies that affect the patient interview and treatment decisions
Outline ways to use these sources of knowledge to improve interactions with patients and, ultimately, health outcomes

Target Audience: This program is designed for all faculty, staff, preceptors and trainees who work (currently or in the future) in a patient setting.

Registration: For non-UNC affiliates, registration is $15.00. (UNC Affiliates are considered to be faculty, staff, trainees, students, preceptors and residents who currently work for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill or support its students.)
