CHEST’s First 5 Minutes^®: Patient-Centered Approaches in Critical Care course provides clinicians with practical, trust-building communication tools designed to strengthen patient-clinician rapport and support equitable, patient-centered care in critical care environments. The course will introduce strategies for recognizing how social drivers of health influence patient outcomes and how to effectively align goals of care with patient concerns in fast-paced clinical settings. Participants will reflect on personal, patient, and inter-professional biases and practice techniques that foster trust during moments of heightened acuity.
