Founded in 2009, Astute Doctor is a trusted leader in physician performance improvement. Through evidence-based learning experiences, we boost physician impact by building the skills needed to maximize their communication with patients.

The idea of Astute Doctor was conceived at a time of intense focus on healthcare quality and improved patient experience – both factors that are significantly influenced by the strength of the physician-patient relationship and the effectiveness of interpersonal communication.

Poor communication between physician and patient has a profoundly negative effect on healthcare quality, with communication breakdown playing a key role in serious adverse outcomes and medical malpractice claims.

Astute Doctor courses are designed to increase a physician’s ability to conduct patient-centered interactions and use empathy-based techniques to improve patient health outcomes.

It’s our privilege to be a trusted partner on your journey to greater impact.
