Content
In the course Behavior and Communication, which is part of the learning trajectory of Medical Practice, we work on the professional CanMEDs roles of communicator, collaborator, organizer/manager, and (professional) public leadership. In addition, Healthy Ageing forms the theoretical framework on which health behavior in all phases of life (read: from preconception to the end of life) is addressed. Central to this is how medical care can connect to these questions in an integrated way. Students are encouraged to develop a vision of how they can contribute to positive health and self-management of the patient as healthcare professionals. Attention is paid to communication skills through discussion and conversation linked to specific complex care questions: sexuality, problematic parenting situations, SOLK complaints, and palliative care. Through role-play, interdisciplinary consultation with the neighborhood team, and directing theatre concerning discussions with family, attention is paid to discussing and practicing dealing with specific and complex care questions. Topics to be dealt with follow the cases and patient problems discussed during the clinical medicine lectures.
