Faculty Development R1 is back (virtually!)

Posted on by David Schwartz

Last month VitalTalk successfully completed two Virtual Faculty Development R1 pilot courses. The first course was open to those whose Aspen courses were cancelled this spring, and the second was hosted by Duke University.  We are thrilled to be teaching Faculty Development again and that we have 40 new VitalTalkers starting their journey to join our faculty community!

Virtual Faculty Development courses will be offered regularly throughout 2021 as we continue to grow our faculty in pursuit of our mission to integrate evidence-based serious illness communication skills into healthcare practice through an engaged network of trained faculty.

Many thanks to Katie Stowers for her leadership on this project. The VR1 course could not have been developed as successfully and rapidly without the support, dedication, and creativity of the following faculty:
