This simulation brings three physicians together to negotiate the structure of a shared clinic using a fully quantified, seven issue scoring system.
Each doctor enters with different clinical needs, workflow patterns, and strategic priorities, which creates asymmetric point values and distinct reservation points across the issues.
On the surface, many issues appear difficult to reconcile, but the underlying structure contains multiple integrative opportunities that only emerge through careful questioning and coalition aware communication.
Because no single physician can reach a strong outcome alone, students must balance joint value creation with strategic value claiming, manage shifting alliances, and trade across issues without revealing their point totals.
The exercise gives instructors a clear platform to examine multi party dynamics, information management, and the analytical discipline required to make effective logrolling decisions.
