The Winning Consultation

A focused workshop on effective patient consultations

Empire Virtual Training

About this Conference

The Winning Consultation workshop takes place online on November 22, 2026 at the live online classroom. Participants gather in a classroom designed for interactive learning, where the agenda emphasizes structured patient interviews, shared decision making, and documentation that aligns with current practice guidelines. The setting allows clinicians to observe model consultations and to reflect on common communication challenges that arise in busy outpatient environments. The curriculum also includes brief reviews of relevant regulatory considerations and documentation standards to ensure that participants can translate the skills into compliant practice.

During the day, each clinician spends time role‑playing both provider and patient roles using standardized scenarios that mirror common clinical presentations. Facilitators guide the group through evidence‑based questioning techniques, active listening cues, and strategies for confirming patient understanding. Real‑time feedback focuses on verbal and non‑verbal behaviors, documentation accuracy, and the integration of shared decision tools. The hands‑on segment reinforces skill acquisition by allowing participants to practice and receive immediate, constructive critique. The role‑play scenarios are tailored to typical cases seen online outpatient clinics. After each role‑play, the group reconvenes for a debrief in which facilitators highlight common themes and suggest modifications to improve clarity and patient engagement.

The workshop is appropriate for physicians, advanced practice providers, and nurses who regularly conduct outpatient visits and who seek to refine their communication repertoire. It benefits clinicians at any career stage who want to align their consult style with evidence‑based practices while maintaining efficiency. Participants also receive a set of practical scripts, checklists, and reflective techniques that can be incorporated into daily patient interactions, supporting both patient satisfaction and clinical clarity. Participants also receive a curated set of reading materials, checklists, and sample scripts that reinforce the concepts covered. In addition, participants are granted access to an online community where they can post questions, share experiences, and receive periodic updates from the faculty. This continued resource support is intended to help clinicians maintain and refine their consultation skills over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which professional licenses are appropriate for this workshop?
The workshop is open to clinicians who hold a current, unrestricted professional license to practice direct patient care. This includes physicians (MD or DO), nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and registered nurses who regularly conduct outpatient consultations. The content does not address specific scope‑of‑practice rules; participants should confirm with their own licensing board that the material aligns with their permitted activities.
What does the hands‑on portion of the day involve?
The hands‑on segment consists of small‑group role‑play exercises using standardized patient scripts that reflect common outpatient scenarios. Each participant alternates between the provider and patient roles while peers observe. After each interaction, facilitators lead a focused feedback session that highlights communication strengths, areas for improvement, and documentation accuracy. This iterative practice aims to translate theory into observable skill that can be applied in real clinical settings.
How is the workshop structured throughout the day?
The day begins with a brief overview of evidence‑based consultation principles followed by interactive lectures on questioning techniques and shared decision making. Mid‑morning the group moves into the first round of role‑play simulations. After a short break, participants reconvene for a debrief and then complete a second set of scenarios that incorporate more complex clinical information. The afternoon concludes with a summary discussion that reinforces key take‑aways and outlines strategies for integrating the new skills into everyday practice.
What prior experience is recommended before attending?
Participants should arrive with a basic familiarity with the patient interview process, including the ability to take a focused history and perform a brief physical assessment. Experience with electronic health record documentation is helpful but not required. The workshop builds on these foundational skills by introducing structured communication frameworks and shared decision tools that can be layered onto existing practice habits.
Will any resources be provided after the workshop?
After the workshop, each attendee receives a curated set of reading materials, checklists, and sample scripts that reinforce the concepts covered. In addition, participants are granted access to an online community where they can post questions, share experiences, and receive periodic updates from the faculty. This continued resource support is intended to help clinicians maintain and refine their consultation skills over time.
