Evaluation of the effect of a communication skills course on medical students’ attitude towards patient-centered care: a prospective study

20242 citationsOpen accessSuez Canal University

Abstract

The communication skills course might have had a positive impact on students' attitudes towards sharing information in decision-making with patients, but notably, the medical students' caring attitudes declined. This indicates a need for further emphasis on patient-centered communication, especially on the caring aspects, in the medical curriculum.
