New Communication Teaching Skills Tutors

This workshop will give you the knowledge and skills required to facilitate communication teaching sessions in the remote classroom setting.

The 2-hour workshop will now be delivered remotely, and will cover:

• How communication teaching fits within the MB ChB

• Using constructive feedback
• Working with Simulated Patients

After the workshop you will receive a certificate, and be encouraged to shadow a teaching session prior to leading it yourself.
