Comms Corps Prepares Teams for Responding to Medical Harm

Comms Corps prepares healthcare professionals for one of medicine’s hardest moments: the conversation after a patient is harmed. Co-founder Leilani Schweitzer led the communication and resolution program at Stanford Healthcare for over 12 years, after her son, Gabriel, died as a result of medical errors. That dual perspective shapes everything Comms Corps teaches.

Drawn from thousands of conversations with patients, families, attorneys, physicians and administrators, the online course shows clinicians what to say, what not to say and how to stay honest while respecting legal concerns. It’s a practical way for Oregon hospitals to strengthen their early discussion and resolution (EDR) conversations. Learn more at Comms Corps.
