Addressing Vaccine Hesitancy in Rural Communities: Part Two

This webinar occurred on November 13, 2024, and continuing education expires on February 13, 2024.

About the Webinar

The Power of Providers Initiative hosted this webinar on Wednesday, November 13, 2024. This two-part workshop introduced rural healthcare providers to motivational interviewing (MI) and Getting to the Heart and Mind of the Matter Toolkit, which helps patients choose trustworthy sources of information and respond to brain-friendly promotional messages. These techniques can help providers have impactful vaccine interactions with patients in rural communities.

Learning Objectives

1. Illustrate strategies to evoke and reinforce “change talk” during brief interactions with patients.
2. Employ MI skills and strategies during patient interactions, including how to use MI to provide evidence-based information about vaccines and science media literacy.
3. Evaluate feedback from other participants on practicing MI skills.
4. Create a plan for how they will use the Getting to the Heart and Mind of the Matter Toolkit to assist them in their interactions with patients and health promotion efforts.
