Abstract Details

2017, MA, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences: Communication.
This study explored medical students’ education about physician-patient communication, and if there are gaps between what the students are learning and the published doctor-patient communication literature. Participants were medical students in US medical school programs who completed an anonymous online survey (N = 50). Results indicate that medical students perceived receiving communication skills education, but usually in one course, and they desired more training. Communication theory from the published health communication literature was not a focus. Future research should explore generalizability of the results and seek ways to increase communication theory into US medical school curriculums.
