Person First Language: Enhancing Physician-Patient Interactions

This presentation introduces the importance of using Person First Language (PFL) in healthcare to improve patient engagement and outcomes using evidence based language. It highlights the problem of condition-first language, which can dehumanize patients and foster implicit biases. The solution is to focus on the person rather than the condition (e.g., “a person with diabetes” rather than “a diabetic”). This approach improves communication, fosters respect, and enhances patient engagement.
