What is the FOR21 project?
Integrated methodology will make communication skills training efficient through reaching the Project milestones:
- Communication Development training Centres (CDC) launch,
- Patient Centred Communication Skills Programme (PCCSP) implementation,
- Integration of the Communication Competence framework into the assessment system of students’ performance.
A smooth transition from traditional teacher-centered to student-centered approach will help to avoid inconsistency in curriculum development. PCCSP will bring PC HEIs transition from lecture-based teaching to learning activities, such as Flipped Classroom, Standardized and Virtual Patients, ICT methods in a fully integrated training regime. Not monitored self-study activities will be reshaped into a set of online lectures and references stimulating interest in learning activities.
Dissemination of Project outcomes will enable its further development and implementation of the created PCCSP. CDCs to be established at each PCU will ensure validity, succession and dissemination of integrated methodology. Network of CDCs will consistently stimulate curricula of partner and non-partner medical HEIs, to modernize and innovate, in accord with the latest trends in communication competency development.
