The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) provides a definition of high- quality primary care in their 2021 paper, “[High quality] primary care provides comprehensive, person-centered, relationship-based care that considers the needs and preferences of individuals, families, and communities.” Anyone who has ever worked in the fast-paced and often chaotic primary care setting knows this is a lofty and most likely an aspirational “north star.” The question then becomes, how do we work towards making this more of a reality? One such strategy is helping clinicians develop contextual interviewing skills in which they learn how to conceptualize patients’ health values through patients’ “love-work-play” context. In this one of a kind presentation, the presenters will provide a short didactic and then launch into a contextual interview role play in which frequent pauses are taken to discuss what questions could be asked next in order to see in “real-time” an effective love-work-play interview.
