This activity will engage students in a care conference while struggling with the labels that direct how others treat them during the care conference.  Each member is given a role to play in the care conference that is visible to all team members.  They are also given a label dictating how they should be treated by the team members that only the other students on the team can see.  The patient care conference is then follwed by a guided debriefing.

The activity is based on the Labelling/Stereotype Exercise created by the University of Toronto.
