Reflective practice involves actively engaging in creative and critical thinking about our actions and experiences in clinical settings. It entails examining our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to gain a better understanding of our strengths and areas needing improvement. By actively reflecting, we can grow as practitioners and provide our clients with the best possible care. Join clinical herbalist Mel Kasting RH of Forest Edge Herbals as she provides us with a framework to help understand reflective practice and its significance for both the practitioner and client. Drawing from her experience managing a busy student clinic, she will utilize case histories and clinical scenarios to illustrate various techniques for self-assessment and group reflection. The focus will be on identifying personal biases, defining the scope of practice, and employing Socratic questioning to evaluate one's clinical performance. By the end of the class, you will be equipped with practical activities to integrate into your practice, along with additional resources for further study. This class will be recorded and a replay will be made available for all registered participants.
