Train the Trainer in Communication with Adolescents

Simulated-patient-based programs are recognized as an effective educational modality for bridging the gap between theoretical learning and hands on experiential training using simulated patients.  MSR, the Israel Center for Medical Simulation, in collaboration with the Israel Society of Adolescent Medicine, offers healthcare providers who teach adolescent medicine the opportunity to enhance their teaching capabilities of communication skills with adolescent patients.

Workshop Description During the workshop trainees will learn how to enhance their teaching capabilities by using simulated patient-based training programs.
