(PRWEB) April 15, 2003

Dr. Avillion and onlineHealthNow have launched a course on www. care2learn. com that focuses on dealing with participants who, for one reason or another, attempt to undermine the success of your educational programs. Although this course targets healthcare professionals, any staff developer and educator would benefit from the course and its concepts.

“Staff development specialists often encounter participants who disrupt or attempt to disrupt educational offerings. It is important to try to understand the source of their dissatisfaction and initiate interventions to reduce or eliminate it. There are techniques and motivators that allow you as the educator to successfully cope with those participants I call the ‘reluctant learners’ ”, says Dr. Avillion, author and educator. Dealing with the Reluctant Learner: Taking Control of a Difficult Situation is offered as a 3-hour course on the website and accredited for continuing education for nurses including Certified Rehabilitation Nurses (CRRN), registered nurses (RN) and Advance Registered Nurse Practioners (ARNP).
