"Good morning, everyone! Today, we will be discussing the behaviors and traits of health care professionals. Understanding these traits is crucial because they directly impact the quality of care that patients receive. Professional behaviors in healthcare settings not only ensure effective communication but also promote trust and respect. So, let’s dive in and explore why these traits are significant for anyone looking to work in the health sector."
"Before we jump into today's main topic, let’s quickly review the homework from our last lesson. I’d like each of you to think about what you discovered and how it relates to the qualities we see in health care professionals. I will call on a few students to share their thoughts, but no pressure—just reflect on your findings as we talk about it."
"Now, let’s delve into the key traits you might find in effective health care professionals. I will present a few common traits, and as I go through them, I want you to think about how each one might impact patient care.
Let's discuss—how do you think these traits can impact a patient’s experience? Feel free to share anecdotes or examples you might have. Remember, there are no wrong answers. Let’s hear your thoughts!"
"Great discussion, everyone! Now it’s time for an activity. I will hand out printable cards for you to fill out. On these cards, please take a moment to write down which behaviors and traits you believe are the most important for health care professionals. You can also include any specific thoughts or experiences related to these traits. You have five minutes to complete this activity, so let’s get started!"
"Now that you’ve had time to complete your cards, it’s important to share and learn from each other. Please find a partner and exchange your ideas. Discuss the behaviors and traits you each identified, and listen to your peer's insights. You have about three minutes for this sharing session."
"Thank you for sharing your thoughts with each other! Can I please have your attention again? I will randomly collect or check the cards you filled out. This will help me gauge our understanding of the topic, and I might ask some follow-up questions during this time. Please pass your cards to the front and return to your seats."
"For your homework, I would like you to observe health care professionals in your community—this could be in a hospital, clinic, or even during a family doctor visit. Reflect on the behaviors and traits you notice. Think about how these traits impact the quality of care and the overall experience. We will discuss your observations in our next class. You can seek examples, but don't need to document them in detail. Thank you for your participation today!"
