Training designed to help communication during emergencies

70 medical departments, 32 different countries and speakers of 58 languages served in 5 years!

Today we completed the analysis of the last 5 years of Cross-Cultural Communication Enhancement that I conduct in hospitals as part of my research and clinical leadership.

This program helped reduce communication barriers during one of the most challenging times in medical history due to the pandemic. Metrics of Patient Safety, Patient Satisfaction, Employee Retention, Equitable Care, and Employee Engagement are among others that have consistently improved. We were able to save jobs during one of the highest turnover times.

I am proud to say Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, and Belonging are not mere buzzwords—when organizations are responsive, true transformation is possible!!

I literally look forward to our weekly sessions. Thank you for all that you do to make us better, stronger and be more human leaders. Have a great weekend.

Signing in from the American Speech, Language, and Hearing Association’s national convention in New Orleans! We have had the most provocative conference this year with a lot of talk around demarginalizing and decolonizing our field! FINALLY!! Well, yours truly is strongly representing and fighting the good fight for the way accents and dialects are treated in our field! The continued politics and ignorance around these issues has inspired me to get more vocal again! And to reconnect clinicians and researchers with the informed and evidence-based tools and methods, so stay tuned as I will be posting more on social media.

So today, I want to ask you, do you still care about issues of accents and dialects? Do you still want to stay on this page? Please share what your interest is in this topic so I can bring you more curated information. Or just shoutbout and say hello! I will remove those who are not interested so as to not spam you with things that don’t matter to you on this page. Thanks for reading this far!
