Abstract:
Public speaking skills are essential for career advancement and success in medicine. This needs assessment evaluated the public speaking challenges faced by medical students and faculty, identifying areas where targeted training can enhance communication skills crucial for medical practice. Size and demographics (e.g., students versus attendings) of the audience population affect public speaking confidence, particularly for students. Both groups prefer practical, interactive learning methods, like workshops and peer practice. Medical schools can integrate training and practice opportunities into existing curricula, ensuring that students still receive essential communication skills development within their current programs.
