To complete the holistic map, it was important for me to connect the current situation of the learners with the desired descriptions. Consequently, I used an “Empathy Map” to categorize the participants’ input into key aspects and listed the main learning outcomes based on the information gathered from the learners. The main learning outcomes were as follows:
Main Learning Outcomes:
Knowledge Learning Outcomes:
- To recall major information about medical conditions

Skill Learning Outcomes:
- To compare between a patient’s condition and some other similar cases

- To practice effective communication skills with patients and nurses
- To seek various ways to address challenges
Attitude Learning Outcomes:
- To appreciate the importance of overcoming shyness and embarrassment and of providing patients with appropriate information in all circumstances
