Translating medical documents into plain language enhances communication skills in medical students–a pilot study
Using plain and simple language is a necessary requirement in physicians’ daily practice when communicating with patients. Especially for shared decision making in a consultation with their physician and for giving their consent to a procedure patients need to understand medical information fully [1]. A systematic review has shown that lower health literacy–the ability of individuals to obtain, understand and interpret medical information and to use it to make decisions–in patients is associated with lower disease specific knowledge and even higher mortality [2].

Accelerating Physician Workforce Transformation Through Competitive Graduate Medical Education Funding Reform Proposals
This article discusses the varied causes of GME inertia and proposes a new funding mechanism coupled to a competitive peer-review process. The result would be to reward GME programs that are aligned with publicly set priorities for specialty numbers and training content. New teaching organizations and residency programs would compete on an equal footing with existing ones. Over a decade, all current programs would undergo peer review, with low review scores leading to partial, but meaningful, decreases in funding. This process would incentivize incremental and continual change in GME and would provide a mechanism for fundi...

“Should I prioritize medical problem solving or attentive listening?”: The dilemmas and challenges that medical students experience when learning to conduct consultations
Communication skills can be trained alongside clinical reasoning, history taking or clinical examination skills. This is advocated as a solution to the low transfer of communication skills. Still, students have to integrate the knowledge/skills acquired during different curriculum parts in patient consultations at some point. How do medical students experience these integrated consultations within a simulated environment and in real practice when dealing with responsibility?

Development and evaluation of a risk communication curriculum for medical students
Abstract: Objective: To develop, pilot, and evaluate a curriculum for teaching clinical risk communication skills to medical students.Methods: A new experience-based curriculum, “Risk Talk,” was developed and piloted over a 1-year period among students at Tufts University School of Medicine. An experimental study of 2nd-year students exposed vs. unexposed to the curriculum was conducted to evaluate the curriculum's efficacy. Primary outcome measures were students’ objective (observed) and subjective (self-reported) risk communication competence; the latter was assessed using an Observed Structured Clinical Examinatio...

Residents’ perceived barriers to communication skills learning: Comparing two medical working contexts in postgraduate training
Conclusion: To gradually realise a clinical working environment in which the above results are incorporated, we propose to use transformative learning theory to guide further studies.Practical implications: Provided it is used continuously, an approach that combines self-directed learning with observation and discussion of resident-patient consultations seems an effective method for transformative learning of communication skills.

Designing a curriculum for communication skills training from a theory and evidence-based perspective
Conclusion: Consensus and theory-driven approaches to medical communication curricula are not necessarily contradictory and can be integrated to further enhance ongoing development and improvements in medical communication education.Practice implications: A functional approach should resonate with practicing clinicians and continuing education initiatives in that it is embraces the notion that competent communication is situation-specific as clinicians creatively use communicative skills to accomplish the key goals of the encounter.
