Focus On Youterus: Using Art To Improve Teamwork, Communication and Professional Identity Formation

Background: Teamwork and communication among health professionals leads to improved patient outcomes, reduction in errors, improved patient satisfaction.  Too often time is not provided within individual training programs to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviors associated with high performing teams.  Development of a strong professional identity can lead to strong team leaders and team members.  Over the course of this workshop, we will present a low cost simulation using art that can be used to achieve above mentioned goals

Objectives: Our objectives for this session are to: 
Discuss the increasing importance of teams and communication in medicine
Discuss the role of professional identity in professional growth
Perform a simulated team exercise using art
Detail the numerous ways art can be used in medical education

Agenda/Interactive Component: The 75-minute workshop will include:
Introduction to teamwork, communication, and professional identity and directions for the art simulation (Large group, 15 minutes) 
The large group will break into teams of 5-10 participants and each group will go through 1 of the following 3  group exercises (30 minutes):
     o Team #1:  Teamwork
     o Team #2:  Communication
     o Team #3:  Professional Identity
Small groups will share their experience with the large group. (10 minutes)
Large group will brainstorm other applications of this exercise. (10 minutes)
Wrap-Up and questions (Large group, 10 minutes

Take-home Product:  Participants will leave with one example of a fun, low-cost art simulation that can be adapted to many different situations that involve teamwork, communication, and identity formation.
