On July 15, 2025, first-semester medical students at UAG School of Medicine participated in an interactive, generation-wide workshop focused on one of the most critical pillars of medicine: the patient-physician relationship
 

Through the Clinical Skills Development (CSD) Program, students not only begin practicing clinical skills in their first semester—they also explore the deeper human dimensions of care, including communication, empathy, and ethical conduct. 

Led by faculty in Guadalajara, the workshop explored: 
🔹 The importance of trust and communication 
🔹 Common barriers in patient care 
🔹 Conflict resolution strategies 
🔹 Realistic scenarios for role-playing and discussion 
UAG

The dynamic approach included interactive questions, peer engagement, and an innovative icebreaker: students grouped themselves by their personal interests—music, film, food, and sports—creating an inclusive and collaborative learning environment. 
 

This session reflects UAG’s holistic approach to medical education, preparing future doctors not only with technical skills, but with the compassion and interpersonal intelligence needed for exceptional patient care. 
 

This Is UAG—where medical training begins with humanity.
