ITD 422 - ITP Course Facilitator

The Junior Facilitator experience allows fourth-year medical students the opportunity to assist EVMS faculty in leading Clinical Skills small group sessions for first and second-year students. This is a longitudinal experience that begins with training concerning facilitating small group learning, giving strategic feedback, and evaluating learner performance. The participant will assist faculty leaders in leading small group discussions, overseeing simulated patient interviews relevant to medical history and physical exam topics and guiding discussions about medical decision making. The preparatory course is offered in July and August with small groups beginning in mid- August and extending through mid-March. Small groups are coordinated with the M1 and M2 schedules and observant of vacation time. Sessions are held on Tuesday or Thursday afternoon in the Sentara Center for Simulation and Immersive Learning. By meeting the requirements of the course the student will accrue two weeks of M4 credit.
