Practice and Roleplaying for Residents
Delivering bad news, dealing with emotional distress, and having heartfelt conversations with patients isn’t always easy. Discussions can be layered, unclear, and fraught with high anxiety and emotion. To address this, in collaboration with Dr. Benjamin Blatt, Director of the GW CLASS Center, GWish developed a program known as CREATE (Cross Residency Exercise for ACGME Training and Evaluation).
CREATE uses simulated patients and role-playing to give residents practice in dealing with end-of-life care, breaking bad news, and other challenging communication issues.
