They must create a teaching plan and handout on the topic. The plan should include goals, an organized content outline, teaching methodology, rationale for methods, and evaluation of learning. Students will role play teaching or teach an actual patient, while being observed. The plan will be evaluated on 10 criteria such as knowledge, writing mechanics, and references.
