Whilst broadly based, specific methods of communicating are explored and developed. This gives students ample opportunity to build upon their existing communication skills and increase their communication effectiveness. The module is presented to the student in an experiential/interactive learning format, in small groups, in a dedicated communication facility. This module is part of the Get SMART initiative.
