Of course, MI doesn’t just consist ofÌý³Ù³ó±ð´Ç°ù±ð³Ù¾±³¦²¹±ô constructs – it’s being used in ongoing studies and projects nationwide! Take a look at our MI in Action feature this week, from the University of Alabama at Birmingham:
Carol Golin, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine, ºÚÁÏÍø Chapel Hill and Steve Bradley-Bull, MEd, LPC, Motivational Interviewing Specialist, ºÚÁÏÍø Chapel Hill, recently conducted a Motivational Interviewing booster training at the University of Alabama at Birmingham for a project called . This project focuses on helps individuals who are newly enrolled in HIV care in adhering to HIV medication and staying in care. The training included clinicians from 4 sites across the United States, from Seattle, Washington to Baltimore, Maryland.
The training’s priority was to review Motivational Interviewing skills and to discuss the successes and challenges of using them in their sessions. Using skill building exercises, videos, demonstrations, role plays, and discussions, the clinicians expressed a better understanding of the skills and how to more effectively use them with their clients.
But don’t just take it from us! Next week, we will share a clinician’s testimonial about their training experience.
