To describe innovations in a clinical communication skills training (CCST) program, aimed at facilitating transfer of communication skills from classroom to clinical practice and report student's evaluations regarding this program.
To facilitate transfer, we integrated CCS with medical and practical skills, and we developed simulation sessions closely resembling clinical practice in case-history's, length of consultation, and patient-population. Feedback was given on communication skills and medical knowledge and skills. Student's opinions about whether these elements were helpful, were evaluated using a questionnaire.
Responses of 144 students were analyzed. The majority of the respondents agreed that this CCST program helped them with transfer of CCS from classroom to clinical practice, as did the feedback on medical content and communication skills in the same session.
Students indicate that simulations resembling clinical practice and feedback on both CST and medical content facilitate the transfer of their skills to clinical practice.
This CCST program is innovative because it integrates medical and practical skills, with elements aiming to create an educational environment resembling clinical practice as closely as possible in order to facilitate transfer to clinical practice.
描述临床沟通技能培训(CCST)项目中的创新举措,旨在促进沟通技能从课堂向临床实践的转化,并报告学生对该项目的评价。
为促进转化,我们将临床沟通技能与医学及实践技能相结合,并在病史、会诊时长和患者群体方面开展了与临床实践极为相似的模拟课程。针对沟通技能以及医学知识和技能提供了反馈。通过问卷调查评估学生对这些要素是否有帮助的看法。
对144名学生的回复进行了分析。大多数受访者认为,该CCST项目有助于他们将临床沟通技能从课堂转化到临床实践,同一课程中对医学内容和沟通技能的反馈也起到了这样的作用。
学生表示,类似临床实践的模拟以及对临床沟通技能和医学内容的反馈有助于将他们的技能转化到临床实践中。
该CCST项目具有创新性,因为它整合了医学和实践技能,其要素旨在营造一个尽可能贴近临床实践的教育环境,以促进向临床实践的转化。
