MNI: Patient Education Role Playing

In these videos, the faculty members illustrate how they talk with patients about melanoma therapies, with an emphasis on overall education as well as side-effect management. From these experts, you may garner communication pearls that are helpful as you develop or refine your educational strategy related to new advances in melanoma.

These videos are for your educational purposes only at this point (ie, please do not share the link to these video with patients). Soon, we will make these videos available for patients to access directly through AIM at Melanoma.
