Although conflicts willalways occur, especially in such high stress situations, it is critical that students learn strategiesfor negotiating and resolving conflicts, strategies that allow them to self-mediate when possibleand to learn to ask for mediation when not.The challenges discussed in this section are by no means the only ones faced, but they are threeof the most critical ones that are communications-based.
