INTERPROFESSIONAL RELATIONS WORKSHOP
The student must be able to acquire the knowledge and develop the skills related to the clinical-assistance procedures foreseen in the clinical training experience of the 3rd year of the course. he must also acquire the ability to operate within a multidisciplinary team aimed at solving the patient's health problems through the application and use of clinical reasoning and critical thinking.
The student must know the various communication styles and assertive techniques that allow to manage complex problems or conflicting situations that can arise in interpersonal relationships.
The aim of the workshop is also to recognize situations of conflict in the workplace and to "read" the conflict as an opportunity for personal and relational growth. During the laboratory you will learn about the different types of conflict, become aware of the experiences that characterize the conflict and you will implement effective communication and relational skills.

The term "conflict" is often considered in its negative sense, as a relational area to be avoided. An avoidant and non-assertive attitude, the lack of understanding of deep meanings, the uncontrolled unleashing of destructive potential, the unbearable load of psycho-physical suffering are just some of the consequences of an unrecognized or unmanaged conflict. Conflict is a natural, structural and, in some respects, vital part of our social interactions: anyone and at any level in healthcare organizations can be involved in a conflict. When conflict is recognised, understood and, methodically, adequately addressed and managed, it can become a factor for growth, knowledge, understanding and development at the level of both individuals and organizations. The complexity of the conflict area in healthcare and beyond makes a systemic approach necessary with specific training interventions involving healthcare professionals, managers and administrative professionals, and with structured organizational interventions and spaces for joint reflection. The course offers an introductory overview of the topic of conflict management in healthcare and presents some practical models potentially applicable in everyday life.
