Communication skills of tutors and family medicine physician residents in Primary Care clinics.

CONCLUSION: Physicians excel in terms of creating a friendly environment, possessing good listening skills, and providing the patient with information. However the ability to empathise, exploring the psychosocial sphere, carrying out shared decision-making, and asking open questions must be improved. Being a tutor, devoting more time to consultations, and being younger, results in a significant improvement in communication with the patient. PMID: 27157118 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
