Engaging Learners Through Use of Medical Readers Theatre
February 13, 2024
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (ET)
Hosted by the Faculty Leadership Network
Webinar Details
Using stories to teach is not a new strategy for helping students understand best practices in patient care in the Affective Domain. However, the use of Medical Readers Theatre is a relatively new concept to nursing as it uses stories and scripts from nontraditional sources, as well as involves student participation to read the story as the teaching points are made. The instructor facilitates discussion upon completion of the “play” to impress key principles of patient care that may be affected by bias, stereotyping, as well as attitudes, beliefs, and value systems of student learners. Join us for this webinar to uncover the power of narratives, the art of immersive learning, and the transformative potential in healthcare education.
Objectives:
- Discuss the importance of the affective domain in patient care.
- Identify the principles and strategies for utilizing Medical Readers Theatre to teach affective domain concepts.
- Explore options of stories that can be used to teach affective domain concepts.
