Recorded Symposium Session: It's My Decision: Using Motivational Interviewing and Shared Decision Making to Improve Health Outcomes

As clinicians, RDNs understand the importance of helping clients navigate decisions to change behavior and achieve meaningful outcomes. Adopting an effective style of motivational interviewing (MI) and a process of shared decision making (SDM) to improve the quality of care and enhance outcomes requires skill above entry level. In this presentation, Eileen Myers will focus on both the style of counseling and the process of decision making to ensure the client’s voice is incorporated into the decision-making process. A case study will demonstrate the relationship between MI and SDM in practice.
