Small Group Facilitation Skills

what does this course cover?

Small group teaching is the format most doctors are handed and least often trained for. Five students at a bedside, eight around a table, one dominant voice, three silent, and very little time.

 

The skills to make any small group work at the bedside, in a seminar room, or online.

Learning outcomes:

  • Structure a small group session with a clear purpose, so the group arrives somewhere rather than simply discussing.
  • Read group behaviour as it happens, and intervene early when one voice starts crowding out all the rest.
  • Use energisers, breakouts and questioning techniques built for adult learners, rather than filling an awkward silence.
  • Build psychological safety quickly, so a learner will admit what they do not know in front of peers and patients.
  • Adapt your facilitation for online delivery, where the usual signals that a group is engaged simply disappear.
