Abstract

The goal in this session is to explore the use of the Patient Communication Challenge (PCC) game as a classroom-adjunct opportunity for medical trainees to practice deconstructing medical terminology into plain language and begin to internalize effective, patient-centered clear communication strategies to explain common diagnoses, tests and procedures. PCC workshops are held during Enrichment Weeks after didactic blocks for approximately 20 preclinical medical students per workshop, who watch a video on health literacy before attending. The hour-long workshop includes a review of patient-centered communication, the PCC game, and a post-session survey. The PCC is an opportunity for trainees to practice plain language communication outside the classroom in an enjoyable format that reinforces didactic concepts through active learning, with self-reported participant satisfaction and competency gain.
