Skills to communicate effectively in teams are essential for all health professionals.  Increasingly, research is showing that there are better patient outcomes and improved work satisfaction in well functioning health care teams.  As part of the Interprofessional Education (IPE) program within the Faculty of Health Sciences, there is an opportunity for a limited number of students to participate in interactive team experiences. Students will have the opportunity to develop collaborative team skills while working through a patient scenario, using standardized patients.

In this event, students have the opportunity to develop collaborative team skills and communication techniques, while working through a patient scenario with standardized patients.

Faculty who have expertise in communication skills observe the health professional student teams as they interact with each other and the standardized patients, and provide feedback to the team.

Dates will be posted as they are selected. Participation is on a first come/first serve basis.
