Students' Reflections During Training Workshops on Communication and Information Exchange in Audiology Consultations: An Exploratory Qualitative Study

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that students first need to master basic information giving skills before they can move on to more advanced skills such as managing shared decision making, linguistic differences, and relating bad news. This study confirms that reflective skills need to be developed with students in an explicit manner, rather than as part of a hidden curriculum. Our approach to providing communication training and encouraging reflection on clinical experiences offers a starting point for clinical educators to support students in developing these skills.PMID:35749659 | DOI:10.1044/2022_AJA-21-00255
