"I do think that AU MITI and the motivational interviewing training was the tipping point for the Complex Care Management nurses to become more confident when talking with patients in the complex case management program. When we started we had 527 open cases. AU MITI training took place in August. We hit our target of 961 cases in late October and by year's end we had 1141 cases open to CCM. This would not have happened without the training we received. When referred to Complex Case Management, it is usually when a care team is frustrated with the progress of the patient. The CCM nurse needed different tools to break through that clinical inertia. Motivational Interviewing has been that break through for us."

"The program is a packed program filled with many opportunities to apply principles in MI. The Auburn team carefully guided the novice participant from understanding key principles to role-playing with a standardized patient. The experience will leave you with wonderful resources and skills to apply the next day in your teaching and practice. Having been to other MI programs, I feel this one is the most tailored for the allied health professions. You won't regret this wonderful learning opportunity."
