How it’s improving learner and workforce communication skills and how you can implement it across your entire curriculum to build higher levels of competency in your learners. You will then have the opportunity to implement the stage-based process by working with other workshop attendees to design an IPE case that best suits your needs. The SimConverse team will use this information to build a tailored case that all attendees subsequently can show to their team’s post-conference. AI is a cost-effective and scalable way to effectively train communication skills for your entire cohort, join me to experience what’s now possible! |
