The November Med School Café lecture will feature Dr. Rosina Connelly, assistant professor of pediatrics at the USA College of Medicine and a pediatrician with USA Physicians Group.
Her lecture, titled “Just What Did the Doctor Say? Tips on Communicating with Your Health Care Providers,” will take place Nov. 6, 2013, at the USA Faculty Club on USA’s main campus. Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m., and the presentation begins at noon.
According to Dr. Connelly, limited health literacy skills affect more than 70 million American adults and result in poorer health outcomes. Dr. Connelly’s lecture will include tips on learning how to better communicate with health care providers and how to get the most out of a medical encounter. In addition, Dr. Connelly will explain where patients can find trusted health information to complement their knowledge and thus improve health.
The Med School Café lecture and lunch are provided free of charge, but reservations are required. For more information or to make reservations, call Kim Partridge at (251) 460-7770 or e-mail kepartridge@usouthal.edu.
