Description

Are you ready to revolutionize your approach to student coaching and competency assessment? This workshop, held April 29 from 3:00-6:00 pm (MT) and April 30 from 8:00-4:00 pm (MT), is tailored for faculty members seeking to elevate their instructional strategies through experiential learning using various forms of simulation in the lab, classroom, and clinical setting.

Learn how to take your coaching and debriefing techniques to the next level through simulation in the lab and classroom. Don't miss out on this opportunity to unlock the potential of experiential learning for competency enhancement to empower your students to provide quality and safe patient care. Reserve your spot today and embark on a journey toward coaching excellence!
