Speakers, Sessions and Educational Credits

       

The 2012 SHCA Annual Conference promises to deliver high-level content in an engaging and energetic environment. Do not miss this premier conference serving those that advocate in the name of the patient.



SHCA Domains of Practice

Gaining knowledge and skills around improving the patient experience is crucial to not only our function as Healthcare Patient Advocates, but as collective voices reaching for an ever-improving patient experience. To aid in the development of fellow advocates and the overall profession, SHCA has identified
Domains of Practice as being key skills and knowledge for advanced competency in the role of a patient and consumer advocate.

You will find that each session throughout the conference supports learning in at least one of these domains.
