Cultural Awareness, Cultural Competency and Critical Consciousness with Dr. Tom Ventimiglia

This lecture will explore three elements of the doctor-patient relationship: ethics, documentation, and boundaries and their impact on the patient's clinical outcomes. It will discuss these concepts from both the doctor's and patient's perspectives, highlighting how they contribute to either a healthy or unhealthy encounter. Key features include: - In-depth exploration of the four ethical principles: beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, and justice. - Analysis of how these principles influence therapeutic relationships and patient outcomes. - Focus on documenting clinical encounters and effective communication styles. - Discussion of case studies demonstrating failures in professional boundaries and their impact on patient safety.
