Are you looking for opportunities to practice patient-centered communication in a safe, structured way? Ask your faculty about NBME’s Communication Learning Assessment (CLA) — a new formative assessment tool currently available free of charge to medical schools.

With realistic case vignettes and opportunities for feedback and reflection, CLA helps students build confidence early in their training. An NBME study found that students using CLA were more likely to demonstrate strong communication behaviors, and 90% said they felt more confident talking with patients after completing the assessment!
