The communication imperative: a critical thinking paradigm.
The communication imperative is a recognition of the fact that the interpersonal relationship between the health care provider and the client is as fundamental to building and maintaining a practice as is clinical skill.

This article will examine some of the background to this decision as well as look at the course itself.
