Course Description

In this experiential course, which takes place at MSR, participants train in simulations of extreme situations that challenge their communication skills. The simulations incorporate professional actors playing patients and family members, medical and nursing staff, and media figures.

Every participant is exposed to a number of challenging scenarios, as active players and as observers, and the simulations are recorded and filmed. The simulation is followed by a debriefing where the the actors give the participants feedback. Furthermore, during the debriefing the participants review the films and recordings of the simulation and get additional feedback from the program leaders (representing the client) who were trained by MSR to lead the course.
