    Area of Science:

    • Medical education
    • Clinical communication skills training

    Background:

    • Effective patient interviewing is crucial for medical professionals.
    • Traditional medical training may not adequately address personal communication skills.
    • Assessing and improving student communication abilities requires innovative methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a supervised, video-feedback method for teaching pre-clinical medical students patient interviewing skills.
    • To identify students with significant communication deficits.
    • To assess the perceived helpfulness and student reaction to the training method.

    Main Methods:

    • 108 pre-clinical medical students conducted supervised patient interviews in an audio-visual studio.
    • Immediate feedback was provided through videotape replay and direct patient comments.
    • Consultations were also utilized for closed-circuit television (CCTV) small group teaching.

    Main Results:

    • Most students perceived the exercise as threatening but ultimately found it helpful.
    • The method successfully identified students with major personal-level communication defects.
    • Detailed content analysis of interviews is ongoing for future research.

    Conclusions:

    • Supervised, video-recorded patient interviews with immediate feedback are an effective educational tool.
    • This method can identify critical communication skill gaps in medical students.
    • The approach, despite initial student apprehension, significantly aids in developing essential clinical communication competencies.
