About this training session:

This session aims to prepare health professionals for the inevitable interactions they will have with the media during their careers.   In this action-packed program a media consultant will provide training and practical tips in a way that will boost participants’ confidence and their presentation skills.  The session will include a working lunch with a blue-ribbon panel of active and former medical reporters. This workshop is designed for faculty and trainees.  Dr. Joan Y. Reede, Dean for Diversity and Community Partnership, is the course director.

Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

· Utilize media training to build one’s confidence in response to a variety of questions from reporters

· Determine how to apply practical tips on "managing a crisis” before it happens

· Effectively use new skills,  such as avoiding stereotypes, framing messages, explaining research to lay audiences, utilizing body language into a “real” world setting
