Sharing Difficult Information during a Virtual Visit can be done in a very compassionate, patient centered way.  It isn’t necessarily what you have to say-- it is how you say it, whether you are face to face or over a camera.  In any situation, there are some basic practices and language that should be used to ensure that the patient and family feel informed and listened to. This course will provide the learner with knowledge to navigate through a difficult conversation with a patient and family via virtual care.
