What the Medical System Doesn’t Know That’s Impacting Quality of Care

Dr. Matthew Corkum, PhD

We don’t know what we don’t know. Even if you know everything about a condition; the causes and cures – you can’t know what it’s really like to live with a disability. Natural assumptions may be adversely impacting quality of care.

Many health care professionals struggle with:

• A fear of saying the wrong thing, being impolite, or feeling awkward.
• Concerns about pushing clients past their limits.
• Assumptions they make about the capabilities of those who are different.
• “Ableism” prejudices that they may not even be aware of.

Learn the myths about dealing with patients with disabilities and how to connect and communicate productively.

Discover the hidden benefits of uncovering the Ability in all of your clients.

Explore how and when to make accommodations that support the recovery and well-being of people with disabilities, and when to push the limits.

Hear how powerful your influence on recovery and achievement truly is!

Leave knowing how to help others thrive so everyone can be more successful!
