Online Course: Improving your Medical Metaphors
Do your metaphors have the impact you want?
Metaphors enhance health communication. They’re time-saving in their efficiency. But they can backfire when there’s a cultural mismatch.
This workshop is an intense 1 hour experience where you break down your metaphor, find out how it works, and develop a winning process that will help you reach your audience. Examples and references from clinical medicine, medical education and public health.
