In collaboration with Sasso Corbaro Foundation (FSC), USI offers the Certificate of Advanced Studies in Communication as a Tool of Care.

This CAS delves into issues concerning communication during treatment, addressing the most complex ethical issues from professional, relational and existential perspectives. Taking care of a patient, particularly a critical one, requires proper communication, and the same goes for building an environment in which co-workers can develop. Until recently, communication aspects in the care and work relationship were left to personal initiative or an empirical trial-and-error approach. Today, new knowledge, possibilities, and demands allow and require a more structured approach and openness to broader issues of ethics and society.
