This module focuses on two main areas: communication and examinations. Participants gain the theoretical and practical ability to apply specific communication techniques in education and training. They are also prepared to incorporate standardized patients in teaching and exams. Another key goal is for participants to select and justify appropriate assessment methods for specific teaching/learning formats, while considering the limitations and opportunities of exam planning. They develop the skills to create, conduct, and evaluate exams. Participants create an OSCE station and engage in a multi-step review process, including standard setting and exam simulation. They also explore computer-based assessments and design structured oral exams (SMPs), from drafting questions and defining expectations to creating an exam blueprint and simulating the exam in a real-world M3 setting. The module also introduces the first steps toward conducting scientific work (e.g., project proposals, thesis templates) and continues the longitudinal mentoring process, with a focus on group and peer mentoring.
