The two videos cover communication psychology frameworks, adult learning best practices, structured education processes, the application of Bloom’s taxonomy, techniques to check understanding, and methods to assess effectiveness and gather feedback.
3‑Day in‑person training
- Day 1 – Authentic & engaging communication. Participants explore how to develop a compelling communication style by integrating storytelling, scientific content, and personal presence. The focus is on building emotional connection and authenticity to better engage audiences.
- Day 2 – Advanced facilitation skills. This day emphasizes interactive teaching techniques, including effective questioning strategies, audience engagement methods, and maintaining strong presenter presence beyond slides.
- Day 3 – Practice, coaching & feedback. Participants apply their learning in practice sessions with personalized coaching and peer feedback. This hands-on day supports refinement of individual style and the practical application of new skills to real-world professional and clinical education scenarios.
Post‑training online workshop (2 hours)
- Following the in‑person training, participants attend a 2‑hour virtual workshop focused on enhancing presentation quality through key visual design principles, including effective slide structure, clear layouts, data visualization best practices, and practical tools to improve audience understanding.
Peer support & presentation review
- Participants are paired to collaboratively refine a real presentation by applying learned frameworks, engaging in structured peer feedback, iterative practice, and reflection before and after delivery, reinforcing learning while fostering a supportive professional network.
