"Confronting Mistreatment: Practical Tips for Addressing Behavior"

Mistreatment of learners happens at all levels of healthcare training and in all types of educational settings. Addressing this problem begins by defining mistreatment, identifying those involved in mistreatment incidents, and providing skills to address unfavorable behaviors safely and effectively. 

This session will build on the foundational discussion by Kevin O'Brien, MD during the Faculty Development Day and offer some practical approaches for addressing occurrences of learner mistreatment.
