Communication Skills for Health Professionals
Page Content
Several methods of teaching communication skills have been tried. These vary from lectures, observation of students while conducting interviews with simulated or real patients, role-play of specific scenarios, or review of videotaped interviews.
The use of videotaped material has become an integral component of many medical training programs. Medical learners may describe feeling threatened by the perceived intrusion of the video camera or worry about “making fools of themselves.” Introducing the learners to role-play interviews or consultations done by others may allow the learner to overcome this barrier. Audiovisual materials are more effective as a teaching tool when they are culturally relevant.
The Communication Skills Working Team was founded to produce culturally relevant audiovisual teaching material in
Arabic
. This website describes our work.
This project was made possible by grants from the:
Lebanese Ministry of Public Health
Lebanese National Council for Scientific Research
Lebanese Society of Family Medicine
American University of Beirut
Arab Resource Center for Popular Arts
UNFPA
KAFA
