Facilitator Lesson Plan

The Good Fences teaching kit contains all you need to host your own team-based, active-learning event featuring work by Randy Longenecker, MD, Professor of Family Medicine and Assistant Dean for Rural and Underserved Programs.

Dual relationships are inevitable in rural healthcare, and competent rural practice demands the ability to negotiate those relationships in healthy ways, including healthy boundary setting, boundary crossings, and boundary maintenance. This teaching kit will explore practical ways to foster healthy relationships and work-life balance.
