    (2 credits)
    Prerequisites/Corequisites: Status as a P2 student in the College of Pharmacy.

    All health professionals, regardless of discipline, are called on to be outstanding communicators with individual clients/patients, as well as with groups and communities. The faculty of all of the ETSU Health Sciences Divisions schools believes that communication is the foundation upon which professionalism develops. The skills that are necessary are well defined and are not the same as social communication skills. These skills can be learned, and if learned, will lead to satisfaction and positive outcomes. When not learned, the opposite frequently occurs. The course is oriented to the development of competencies, and this is how you will be evaluated. This course is a beginning. You will receive continuous follow up,  reinforcement, and expansion of these skills throughout your training. The participating faculty are dedicated to helping you to become the best health care communicator that you can possible be.
