Synthesis Case Facilitator |
UT Health Science Center San Antonio |
16 students |
| Each week of the pre-clinical medical curriculum culminates in facilitated, case-based small group work pertaining to the weekly content theme. The Synthesis Case Curriculum provides clinical application of weekly content; enhances vertical and horizontal integration of curricular material; fosters early development of clinical reasoning and clinical problem solving skills; and serves as a forum to assess altruism competencies and communication skills. I volunteered as a small group facilitator, assisting students with learning clinical and basic science content, professional development, and effective communication. My responsibilities included attending case-related activities, preparing for the sessions, and assessing the students' participation, professionalism, andcommunication. |
