An international group of hearing care professionals from 11 different countries, spanning 5 continents, will attend Ida’s upcoming seminar on 21 January titled “Patient-Centered Care: Fluff, Fact or Fiction.”
For each Ida seminar series, we aim to bring together a diverse group of participants from various backgrounds and locations. During the seminar, we ask each participant to reflect on their own practice and share their unique perspectives on the given topic. We consider our participants the experts. Their stories and experiences serve as the starting point for our collaborative process. A diverse group of participants helps the seminar bring fresh light on existing knowledge and explore uncharted territory.
With our participant list finalized, we are very excited about our upcoming knowledge journey. During the seminar, we will explore the relationships among language, identity, and patient-centered care. We will consider the challenges professionals experience in anchoring patient-centered care in daily practice and craft a way forward for overcoming these challenges.
