This one and a half day course is directed towards educators of health professional learners at any level (students, postgraduate learners, practicing health care providers) who wish to develop a new curriculum or enhance an existing curriculum focused on clinical communication skills. The course will explore how to develop a curriculum suitable to the healthcare setting each participant operates within, what to include in the curriculum and how to deliver, and evaluate the curriculum.  The course combines large group interactive sessions presenting theory and concrete steps in developing curricula with small group sessions where participants work on their individual curriculum development needs.

The course will be held in English and as much as possible will accommodate participants for whom English is not their first language. We are aware that institutions in different countries will have varying resources in terms of available teachers, simulated patients and technology and take this into account in helping you. The course will be highly interactive and participant centered and will enable individual participants to formulate concrete plans for the future.
