Module 1: Introduction to Basic Patient Care

1. Class Introductions

Everyone stand and form a circle in the room. Starting at position 1, each person will introduce themselves and tell everyone something about themselves. The next person in the line will introduce themselves, but also repeat the names of those before them

and what they each told about themselves. Once everyone has completed this process, the person in position 1 must reintroduce themselves as well as repeat the

introductions of all of the students before them to complete the cycle.
