About Tammy Bosley's presentation on November 1, 2017
Using Theory to Improve Health Communication Satisfaction
Who hasn’t been influenced by health communication? Maybe you stopped smoking because you had the support of a close friend or family member. Possibly an advertisement for a community exercise group helped you become more active. Join Tammy Bosley, LCCC full-time faculty and Arts and Humanities Program Coordinator for Communication, as she introduces the audience to the field of Health Communication. Through qualitative and quantitate research methods, this discipline seeks to improve communication across health-related settings. Tammy will explain how applying a theoretical framework facilitates better communication as we each pursue health and well-being.
LCCC Arts & Humanities faculty, Tammy Bosley, will host the forum, Using Theory to Improve Health Communication Satisfaction, in LC 209 on Wednesday, November 1, 2017, during the noon hour, 12-1. Enjoy light refreshments during this next installment of the Bass Library’s Focus on Faculty series.
