Skill Building Program
Continuing the path to health literacy mastery, our revolutionary Skill Building Programs are designed to enhance your skills in communication, education of the workplace and those you serve, as well as analytical and assessment measures.
These Skill Building Programs will improve your professional development skills by showing you how to:
- Create accurate, accessible, and actionable content for patient and community outreach materials
- Make a bigger impact on initiatives by learning best practices and becoming a health literacy communications leader
- Nurture patient relationships and promote patient adherence by facilitating tighter patient/provider partnerships
Starting with PlainLanguage Pro you will learn how to ensure those you serve understand current situations and next steps by helping them put into their own words what they need to know or do.
From there, you can take other advanced courses, masterclasses, and certifications to continue building on your skills and learning new ones.
