As clinician educators, we know how challenging it can be to navigate language in clinical and educational settings. The reality is, there just aren't enough practical resources to help us address this effectively. That's why we created Carefully Chosen Words: Language for Inclusive Care-a resource designed by educators, for educators, clinicians, and researchers who want to foster trust, collaboration, and inclusion without fear of getting it wrong.
Rather than prescribing rigid rules, this guide provides real-world scenarios, reflective exercises, and actionable strategies to enhance patient interactions, strengthen team communication, and promote respectful, effective dialogue. In today's evolving landscape, language is a tool for connection-not division.
Join us in shaping a future where every word matters.
