- Clinical Conversations Training Program Clinical Conversations is a program from the Network of the National Library of Medicine, Middle Atlantic Region (NNLM MAR) for training clinicians and other clinical staff who interact with patients about health literacy and related concepts. This program allows clinical trainers or managers to offer brief trainings embedded into regular staff meetings or trainings that they already facilitate as a way to offer continuing education that does not take time out of already busy schedules. The primary goal of Clinical Conversations is to increase knowledge and awareness of health literacy and associated skills and tools. Clinical Conversations has built in discussion points intended to encourage conversation so participants can learn from one another. The intent of offering Clinical Conversations as part of regular meetings is to convey the importance of these skills and concepts at the institution. To become an expert in the skills presented, there may be a need for further training and practice, so each subject includes a list of additional trainings on that topic. Clinical Conversations provides information for clinical settings but is not intended to provide specific medical advice or to take the place of either the written law or regulations.
