What is Clinical Skills? When do you need co-teachers?
Clinical Skills are pre-clinical teaching sessions for first and second year (M1 & M2) medical students. In the Fall semester, we have Clinical Skills Co-Teachers to accommodate teaching sessions for both classes. In the Spring semester, M2s move on to their Phase 2 clinical rotations.
Co-Teachers are paired with an LTC (Longitudinal Teacher Coach) and their group of students. The Co-Teacher works with half of the group for the session in our simulated clinical environment (CTAC) with a standardized patient. The session will center around a topic such as relationship building or lower extremity exam. A session guide is sent in advance and there is nothing co-teacher need to develop in advance of the session.

Preparation for these sessions is variable based on comfort level, but on average will take about an hour or less. A session guide is sent out by Amanda on Wednesday for the coming week along with any other relevant information.
