Welcome to the Division of Health Care Communication

 

Winter photo from top of Woodward IRC looking to the northEstablished in September of 1996, the Division of Health Care Communication is based out of the College of Health Disciplines at the University of British Columbia (UBC). The Division works to promote a partnership model of client-health professional communication in line with current trends in health care including evidence-based practice, client-centred care and informed and shared decision making.

Our aim is to improve client involvement in health care decision-making through collaborative research, development of community driven programs and client participation in health professional education that leads to greater client involvement in decisions about their health care.  
 
Working within the community and academia, our work is to understand the drivers and barriers that influence client-professional communications and consequent health outcomes. We strive to affect change in professional practice, curriculum of health and human service programs and client communication. This work is made possible by multiple granting agencies and sponsors. 
 
Summaries and resources from all of our unique programs, are available on this site and we encourage you to contact us if you have any inquiries.
