Healing As A Monk?

[J. A.]

What mechanical options are available to help a monk be an effective healer?

I’m aware of the Healing Hand and Disciple of Wholeness archetypes, as well as the two skill-based feats which improve heal checks. Is there anything else that would help a monk heal damage to others?

In combat, I’m not sure the level of healing would be worth the cost of leaving an enemy to damage the party. Outside of combat, there are tricks I remember seeing somewhere for improving Treat Deadly Wounds — mostly taking it down to one minute instead of one hour.

I have a rogue build that's a healer. Most of the things from it I'm sure work with a monk.

Traits: Precise Treatment and (Battlefield Surgeon or Scarred by War) and/or Blessed Touch

Feats: Healer's Hands (1st), Incredible Healer(5th), Curative Mastery (7th)

Basically Healer’s Hands + Signature Skill (Heal) makes any character good at out of combat healing.

This has most of what I have seen Here

Also the Medicine subdomain if you dip into Cleric.

I wasn't able to find much that was monk specfic but I was able to put together the following build. It lets you do out of combat healing using healer's hands and additional in combat healing via some additional healing abilities such as lay on hands, a pseudo lay on hands and channel energy. Sadly the last ability doesn't come online until 17th level though.

Thanks for the info and build suggestions so far, those are very helpful.

Without dipping into another class, is there any way for a monk to gain channel energy?

[Oli Ironbar]

Only at level 11 with 15 Cha, so far as I know:
1st Exotic Heritage (Empyreal)
3rd Eldritch Heritage
11th Improved Eldritch Heritage

You could talk with your GM and exchange the same things as a Qinggong monk to get levels of channel energy.
