Proposal Summary

Group Medical Visits are a powerful tool for delivering quality care to the underserved. Group visits allow for patient-centered health education in an environment that fosters community and social connections that can lead to positive changes in health behavior, physical and mental health, and overall well-being. By normalizing and validating what patients are experiencing mentally and physically, group visits can decrease isolation and also upend the power dynamics and hierarchy of the typical patient-practitioner relationship. Facilitation of group visits allows for rich collaboration between healthcare providers, community members, and clinic staff and can contribute to decreased burnout and more joy in work.

This session is designed for participants who are already facilitating group visits (although participants new to group visits may also attend) to expand and enrich facilitation skills and bring new ideas and energy to their groups. Participants will explore new facilitation strategies and develop strategies for the specific challenges faced in their group visits. Participants will benefit from the shared wisdom and experiences of other group visit facilitators.

Target Audience: Experienced group visit facilitators seeking to improve their practice.

Learning Objectives:

1. Share group facilitation skills to improve the quality and efficacy of group visits for underserved patients.

2. Develop and implement new solutions to common challenges faced in group visits.

3. Improve the quality of group visits and patient care while also finding more fulfillment and joy in our work.
