*CANCELLED* Learning communication in medicine: why current pedagogical models can lead to potential harm to patients, and what we can do to address this
Due to circumstances out with our control the above webinar has been cancelled.
In spite of over 30 years’ worth of focus on teaching communication to medical students, research shows that doctors still communicate relatively poorly with patients in consultations and with colleagues in teams, and continue to show ‘empathy decline’. Poor communication in team settings in particular has led to what has been termed an ‘iatrogenic epidemic’ where patients’ safety is placed at risk. In this Webinar, we will discuss why learning communication in simulated settings may have an unintended consequence of ‘communication hypocompetence’, to suggest that instrumental models are replaced by holistic, humane practice learned in authentic settings.
