This course is called Introduction to Motivational Interviewing (MI). It is intended for healthcare and allied healthcare providers. MI can be used across all disciplines of medicine and behavioral healthcare. This training is designed to be a brief introduction to the theory and skills of motivational interviewing for use within healthcare conversations. It was developed for individuals within graduate medical or behavioral health programs, healthcare or allied healthcare workplaces. After completing this one-hour module, each participant should be able to identify the main elements of MI and several skills associated with this conversation style. This teaching exercise is not intended to prepare participants to use MI right away. Instead, participants are encouraged to attend a face-to-face training that facilitates practice and application of the concepts introduced in this module.

This course does not count as an IU credit hour. The content in this course and a participation certificate are available for free; however, if you would like a certificate of completion with a Continuing Education Unit (CEU), you will need to pay $15/CEU at the end of the course.
