The Art of the Follow-up
90 Minutes   
 
All real learning begins with the first follow-up, whether that follow-up is from ourselves, family, friends, or patients. Before that, everything is theoretical. Even if something has worked for someone in the past, or is “correct” according to the books, accurate and grounded practical information from this new individual will confirm or contradict our theories and add to or modify the totality of our experience. A specialized skill set is necessary to do an effective follow-up, involving interview skills, assessment and analysis, and a specialized knowledge of the pitfalls in the follow up interview.
