This session presents a comprehensive approach to using standardized patients for teaching smoking cessation. Participants will learn how to develop cases focused on smoking cessation, select relevant learning objectives, and effectively engage with patients during interviews. The agenda covers methods for overcoming patient reluctance, addressing personalized risks and benefits, and understanding the stages of behavior change. Emphasis is placed on pharmacotherapy options and the 5 A's of smoking cessation. By the end, attendees will have the tools to facilitate meaningful patient interactions leading to successful quit outcomes.
