Effective Written Communication in Consult Letters: A Crucial Yet Overlooked Skill? J Assoc Physicians India. 2021 Feb;69(2):62-64 Authors: Deep R Abstract The consult letters can be viewed as a window to the entire consultation process. Suitable drafting of consult letters is a useful but often overlooked skill in training years. It is not uncommon to find the consult notes lacking the relevant context or clinical information. Both the style and content should be kept in mind for an effective written communication. It is also important to supervise and give specific feedback to the trainees to make the consult letters succinct and clear. PMID: 33527814 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
