Clinical attachments: Year 3 of the curriculum is a chance for you to consolidate your communication and history-taking skills. It is important that you use the opportunities provided and spend as much time with patients as you can interviewing and presenting patients. You can record your personal reflections on patient encounters in your ePortfolio if you find it helpful. |
| Formal teaching: There is one formal teaching session in Year 3 covering information giving, communicating about and during procedures, explaining risk, critical information exchange and the role of communication in patient safety. |
Recordings of simulated patient session: Details of how to access recordings are here. |
| Peer tutoring: As a year 3 student, you will be offered an opportunity to contribute to a voluntary peer-tutoring programme (facilitating simulated patient interviews for Year 1 students) in order to gain some teaching experience. Students who have done this in the past often find it improves their own clinical communication as well as their teaching skills. This year's programme is now full. |
e-learning:
The package is made up of 7 modules, each of which focuses on a key task defined in the Calgary-Cambridge consultation model. Please note that two of the e-modules are compulsory and must be completed by the deadline.
In addition, there is an introductory module which outlines the purpose of the package and gives some background on how it was made and why, as well as ideas about how to best use it;
These modules are available for you to access at any time. The current Year 1, 2 and GE students will be accessing some modules throughout their course
Two modules (Explaining and planning & Communicating during the physical examination) are compulsory year 3 material which have been included in the Year 3 e-lecture programme. All of the modules will be useful to you as you develop more sophisticated history-taking techniques and as you prepare for your OSCE. |
