Professional Communication
This course is primarily about doctor-patient communication. It runs in English, so an advanced level of English speaking abilities is required. Every week students are asked to read 7 to 10 pages, which we refer to in class and discuss the respective issues. Two classes per semester are designed to cover students' special interests (e.g. somebody chooses a topic, prepares a talk about it and (in advance) sends materials to the rest of the class by e-mail, so that everybody could do some reading on that issue and thus be better prepared for the discussion). If time allows, certain chapters from PEM are chosen as a supplement, to enrich medical English vocabulary and to keep knowledge of the English grammar fresh.
Week 1: How doctors talk to patients and why Week 2: Different types of patients Week 3: What you need to achieve in a consultation Week 4: Ways of looking at the consultation Week 5: Useful strategies and skills Week 6: Wider communication and ethical issues Week 7: The essence of good doctoring Week 8: Special situations and patients Week 9: The patient's learning cycle Week 10: Some truths to remember Week 11: Presentation I Week 12: Presentation II
