Journeys: Part 1. Why is a Biopsychosocial Framework so Difficult to Put into Practice? with Carolyn Vandyken

Overview

A biopsychosocial framework is the standard of care in pelvic health (Starzec-Proserpio 2024).  Yet, most clinicians continue to pay lip service to this model.  In this talk, we will have an open discussion about the challenges and benefits of adapting a framework so that we can walk the walk, not just talk the talk.  We will explore the Fit-for-Purpose model as well as the Clinical Reasoning Model.

Presenters: Carolyn Vandyken
