TEAM COMMUNICATION TRAINING

Paired Observation and Video Editing (POVE) Learners work in pairs alternating roles as observer and “doctor” They see 3-6 patients per day for 3 weeks patients in all Students use an observation form to structure their vision and feedback Visits videotaped: Students review tapes regularly and learn video editing Students get a series of mini talks on core communication topics Faculty review tapes with students, discuss and respond to questions Student final products: 1) Video essay- show baseline, struggles, growth and mastery 2) Teaching Video- Write, act, film, Edit and teach communication skills

Please rate your skills a) before, b) after, c) looking back prior to the start 1= very poor 2= some skill use but awkward 3= comfortable with skill use 4= strong and confident 5= highly competent and creative
