父母 like James Karsten, father of Joel Karsten, of Grand Rapids, said they found the event "very helpful."
"It was inviting, welcoming, reassuring," he said. “我们知道我们的儿子来到这里有多难，搬到这里有多难...it's nice to think there's a team here who really gets that."

Following Mezwa’s welcome, 两位资深的管理人员就基于团队的学习(TBL)——OUWB课程的一个重要组成部分——发表了引人入胜且内容丰富的演讲.
It was presented by Bob Noiva, Ph.D., associate dean, Graduate Studies and 社区 Integration, associate professor, Department of Foundational 医疗 Studies, David Thomas, Ph.D., associate dean, Preclinical 教育, associate professor, Department of Foundational 医疗 Studies.
Essentially, 观众们被提出了一个假想的问题——修理一辆汽车——并被要求诊断问题并提出解决方案. 他们被要求单独这样做，然后作为一个小组来演示, among other things, how working as a team yields better results.
“This is to show the power of teams, which is essential in health care because you depend on others,他说. “这就是为什么你会被推荐给一个可能是某个领域专家的医生，或者他们会让你去做实验室测试……你必须成为团队的一员。.”
Noiva explained that, in many ways, competition has been bred in students and “that has got to go away.”
“So we use this technique to get them working as a team,他说.
Nelia Afonso, M.D., assistant dean, 社区 Integration & Outreach, provided family members with a glimpse into OUWB’s Art & 医学实践(APM)和医学生如何学习治疗病人.
“我们从第一学期就开始学习很多基本技能……沟通, physical exams, clinical reasoning, learning how to work as team,”她说。.
阿方索强调说:“医生能做的最好的事情可能就是成为一个好的沟通者.”
