Conversations between medical providers and patients have their own special style and context-driven meaning. In this episode, co-hosts Jill Winkowski and Prue Salasky explore the ways providers in Hampton Roads implement patient-centered care through their choice of questions, framing, and expression of empathy.
They interview Dr. Staci Defibaugh, associate professor of linguistics at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, whose research specialty is analyzing conversations between advanced practice providers – nurse practitioners, NPs, and physician’s assistants, PAs – and patients. They also talk to Temple West and Alison Schoew, educators in the simulation and standardized patient program at Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) in Norfolk, who give medical students the opportunity to practice their communication and diagnostic skills through role play. (According to West, who administers the program, they’re always looking for community members to participate in the standardized patient program.

Additionally, LanguagingHR talked to Barb Morrison, a physician’s assistant at a Sentara Health internal medicine practice, who participated in Defibaugh’s most recent research project. And Dr. LaTonya Russell, MD, a pediatrician and medical director for Sentara’s community-based clinics statewide in Virginia, talked about the importance of listening to patients’ stories.
