The Human Side of Medicine: Emotional Intelligence for Early Career PAs
Why Emotional Intelligence Is One of the Most Important Skills in Modern Healthcare
Date: Sept. 15, 7–8 p.m. ET
Great clinicians rely on more than medical knowledge — they understand people. Emotional intelligence helps PAs navigate difficult conversations, build trust with patients, collaborate effectively with healthcare teams, and stay resilient in demanding clinical environments. In this engaging session, we’ll explore how emotional intelligence shapes patient care, teamwork, and professional success; and learn practical ways to strengthen these skills in everyday clinical practice. Designed for PAs in their first five years of practice, this session will also include an opportunity for audience Q&A and discussion.
This presentation will be recorded and made available on Career Central, but the discussion that follows will not be recorded. This event is available exclusively to AAPA members.
