SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Woll Family Speaker Series Presents:  Dr. Nathan Houchens
DESCRIPTION:About This Event\nIs medicine a sacred practice? Nathan Houchens\, MD\, a Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan\, thinks so. As the Executive Director of the Sacred Moments Initiative\, he leads a multidisciplinary group devoted to studying\, cataloging\, educating about\, sharing and spreading the message of sacred moments in the clinical world. As part of that work\, he hosts “Boundless Moments\,” a storytelling podcast in which sacred moments come to life through the voices of those who lived them. He also serves as the Acting Chief of Medicine at the Veterans Affairs Ann Arbor Healthcare System and the Director of the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Learning Program for the Internal Medicine Residency. \n\nDr. Houchens has a wealth of experience in facilitating communication skills training at the local\, regional and national levels. His research and interests revolve around interpersonal relationships\, connection and communication in healthcare settings. He emphasizes the role communication plays in patient and provider satisfaction\, education\, professionalism and humanism. He has found that sacred moments in healthcare tie many of these together. He has authored more than 90 peer-reviewed publications\, one book (\"Teaching Inpatient Medicine: Connecting\, Coaching\, and Communicating in the Hospital\, 2nd Edition\") and three book chapters.
