TEACHING COMMUNICATION SKILLS TO MEDICAL STUDENTS

Abstract

In connection with the necessity of formation of communicative skills of the future doctor there is an actual question on methodology of formation of skills of the future doctor with patients, namely: what experts (teachers of what departments), when and how should form communicative skills of the future doctor. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the most effective forms and methods of the educational process in the formation of communication skills of the future doctor. 87 % of teachers of clinical departments who participated in the study believe that it is necessary to teach communication skills to medical students from the 1st year of medical school. The most effective they recognize the joint training within the modular discipline using the "standardized patient" method, which, in turn, requires the joint development of clinical scenarios, checklists and other methodological materials to create a database of "clinical cases" for each medical specialty.
