Abstract
The main purpose of this optional symposium is to help develop "EQ" emotional quotient skills to assist in clinical decision making and conduct with regards to the doctor-patient relationship and interactions, focusing on patient interactions and communication. Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to: (1) identify common heuristic decisionmaking errors with relevance to neuro-ophthalmology, (2) employ skills to avert making medical errors, (3) demonstrate empathy when delivering bad news, and (4) communicate efficiently with patients who have specific challenges with communication
