COMMUNICATION: AN ESSENTIAL VETERINARY PROFESSIONAL ATTRIBUTE

Enhanced Communication by Developing a Non-anxious Presence: A Key Attribute for the Successful Veterinarian

Elizabeth B. Strand

In the recent past much has been written about non-technical skills in veterinary medical education. This dialogue has focused extensively on competence in behaviorally based communication skills for successful veterinary practice. Other relationship-based communication skills are also useful in communication, such as self-awareness, flexibility, non-judgment (compassion), and being present. All of these relationally based skills are present in the concept of non-anxious presence. This article will review the history of the term "non-anxious presence" (NAP), discuss a proposed model of NAP for the veterinary medical environment, and review some methods useful in teaching NAP in veterinary medical education.
