SBIRT for Youth Learning Community: Mastering SBIRT Skills Using Virtual Patients: A Next Generation Approach
Description
As SBIRT services expand, preparing current and future professionals to navigate these important conversations becomes an urgent and sometimes challenging task, whether in university curricula or as continuing education in healthcare. Breakthroughs in science, technology, game mechanics and storytelling are enabling innovation in SBIRT skill-building approaches. Kognito’s nextgen approach uses conversations featuring virtual patients for teaching how to conduct SBIRT with ease and fidelity.
This webinar provides practical guidance on how health students and professionals can be offered opportunities to practice and assess SBIRT skills using evidence-based Kognito Conversations.
