Medical students attending the AU/UGA Medical Partnership study the Art of Doctoring through the Clinical Skills Program which emphasizes the importance of communication, professionalism, history-taking, and physical examination. The Medical Partnership campus teaches clinical skills using a blend of learning activities with a focus on patient interaction.
We have 15 small group classrooms designed and equipped to video record encounters between students and Standardized Patients. Faculty monitor the sessions in real time from the viewing room and then provide feedback to the students in order to improve their communication and other skills.
