The boundaries of providing quality health care are expanding. Clinical professionals are expected to take central roles in promoting healthy behavior and lifestyles. Understanding an individual's values, beliefs, and health priorities increases the chance that a behaviour change goal will be successful and then maintained. A client-centered approach is critical to enhancing and deepening this understanding. At the end of this course students will have a framework for teaching and learning a patient-centered clinical interview; be able to list key concepts commonly used in behaviour change, solution focused, cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy; be able to describe the process of change according to one of the approaches; be able to describe how to organize/structure a behaviour change consultation; be able to describe key teaching principles related to teaching and learning behaviour change.
