Wie moet aanwezig zijn

The course is directed towards teachers of health professionals (for example medical students, nurses, physiotherapists, doctors) and we would encourage teachers with a variety of experience of experiential learning to apply.

Cursus ‘Hoe les te geven’

This three day, non-residential course will be highly interactive, participant-centred and experiential. It will be facilitated by experienced teachers from the teaching committee of EACH: International Association of Communication in Healthcare. Feedback from previous courses has been extremely positive.

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 also aware that different institutions in different countries will have varying resources in terms of available teachers, simulated patients and technology.

The focus will be on how to teach, especially facilitation of small groups, rather than what to teach or how to develop a curriculum. As a result of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• onderwijstheorie toepassen op het ontwerpen van effectieve communicatievaardigheidstrainingen;
• de belangrijkste componenten beschrijven van effectieve trainingen op het gebied van ervaringsgerichte communicatievaardigheden;
• gebruik rollenspel, video, kleine groepen en gesimuleerde patiënten om de communicatieve vaardigheden van leerlingen te verbeteren;
• structureer feedback om het leren in communicatietrainingen te verbeteren:
• en strategieën beschrijven voor het beheren van de dynamiek van grote en kleine groepen in communicatietrainingen.
