Design for a Common Language: Communication Between International Graduates, Patients, and the Medical Community.
Our two-day workshop addresses critical issues to help international medical graduates (IMGs) become successful residents and adapt to the American experience. The workshop teaches participants the framework of American communication--from specific verbal skills to non-verbal behavior, such as handshakes, eye contact, accents, and dress. We address communication in all areas of the medical field, including the educational system and how to relate to patients and supervisors. During the lunch provided on both days, we will delve into the often overlooked but necessary details: table manners, social interaction, and conversational tactics.
