Family medicine fosters holistic approach to patient-centered practice. Current medical curriculum in Croatia does not have well-structured courses or tools to prepare medicals students for successful communication with the patient and for building lasting and beneficial doctor- patient relationship. We explored the value of students practice in writing letters to patients about their illness as a way of building personal and compassionate relationship with patients. Sixth year students at the School of Medicine in Split wrote letters to the patients from consultations under the supervision of the supervisor in a family medicine practice. Structured teaching of communication with the patient brings family medicine back to what has actually always been its main part- communication and doctor-patient relationship. Our future aim is to develop students letters to patients as a new tool in the family medicine course examination. Moreover, we will investigate how they can be used in everyday practice of family medicine.
家庭医学倡导以患者为中心的整体医疗方法。克罗地亚目前的医学课程没有结构完善的课程或工具，无法让医学生为与患者成功沟通以及建立持久且有益的医患关系做好准备。我们探讨了医学生撰写关于患者病情信件的实践价值，以此作为与患者建立个人化且富有同情心关系的一种方式。斯普利特医学院的六年级学生在家庭医学实习导师的监督下，为会诊中的患者撰写信件。与患者沟通的结构化教学使家庭医学回归到其一直以来的主要部分——沟通和医患关系。我们未来的目标是将学生给患者的信件开发为家庭医学课程考试的一种新工具。此外，我们将研究它们如何应用于家庭医学的日常实践中。
