I had the pure pleasure of providing a 2 day training for Piedmont Care Advisors who work with medical patients with chronic illnesses. They were nurses and social workers with lots of expertise and experience who were completely committed to helping their patients and eager to learn MI. They tackled it with gusto, and from my perspective, the event was a big success. What a pleasure as a trainer to have such wonderful participants! Thanks to evolent Health for arranging this great opportunity to learn and share.

I’m sharing my slides if you’d like to review them. These are really suited to a training with focus on health care, disease management, and patient engagement:

Here are some additional resources that could extend the learning. They are a supervisor’s guide, and a sample scripted MI session developed for telephone delivery to enhance patient engagement to an Internet intervention. Download these below:
