No matter which field of medicine we go into, counseling patients can be an enormous part of our daily practice. Motivational interviewing, a patient-centered technique, allows us to better address our patients' readiness for change and support them as best we can. Dr. Frayha got to interview SOM alum Dr. Michael Baca-Atlas from the class of 2015 on how to become an expert motivational interviewer.

He is an expert on this topic, and we are so glad to bring his wisdom to the SOM community. This conversation originally aired on Hippo Education's Primary Care Reviews and Perspectives podcast.
