Quotes from E3 Particitpants:

I was intimidated by [the simulations] as well…I found it super helpful to put [knowledge] into practice and to be able to have the opportunity to debrief afterwards, to really talk about what went well, what you would do differently to the point I would have even wanted to do [the simulations] again.

I feel like I gained a lot I feel like a lot of it was very relevant and very applicable

Registered Nurse ECHO Education Event Participant July 18, 2020

I did expect to have some information about pain. What I didn’t anticipate was the practical, not resources, but the practical tips like how to explain, how to do restorative yoga, how to talk to somebody about what is mind body. I think that experiential learning certainly exceeded my expectations.

I think among the many things I’ll bring back but what is top of mind right now is communication strategies with the patients and explaining pain. In my world, we have a lot of people with very complex pain and I don’t use metaphor and I think that’s going to be a really good tool in my toolbox
