Tough conversations are a given in cancer rehab - there’s truly no way out of them.

From the diagnosis of cancer to chronic impairments to financial toxicity, there’s a plethora of challenging topics that we MUST discuss with our patients.  But why is it so hard???

In short, nobody likes delivering bad news.  We got into health care to HELP people, not make them feel bad.

So why not just avoid tough conversations altogether?  Because it actually hurts our patients in the long run.

We cannot allow this to continue any longer - & that’s why I’m thrilled that Dr. Lori Boright is on the podcast today to discuss her upcoming APTA-CSM session called Navigating the Complex Situations and Tough Conversations of Working With the Cancer Population.

Here’s what we covered in today’s interview: 

• Having difficult conversations with patients is an important aspect of working with the cancer population.
• Authenticity and being your true self are key in having these conversations.
• Confidence and practical skills are essential in delivering difficult news to patients.
• The session at CSM aims to provide clinicians with tools and resources to improve communication and help patients navigate the challenges of cancer care.
