The slide deck of a short sharing I gave to a group of first year medical students of Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). It is indeed a good move to talk about doctor-patient communication early in their medical studies, to expose them to the intricacies, the skill and the art of communicating with patients, including how to break bad news.
Doctor-Patient Communication Skill from Chew Keng Sheng
The best resource on doctor-patient communication that I have found is Skills for Communicating with Patients by Jonathan Silverman, Suzanne Kurtz and Juliet Draper (Amazon link). This text is the first entirely evidence-based textbook on medical interviewing, describing the core skills which represent the foundation for doctor-patient communication
I have found a number of sample chapters that can (still) be downloaded free (these 2 chapters, Chapter 2 and 3, are already informative enough to give us a good grasp on this subject matter):
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
A chapter from its companion volume, Teaching and Learning Communication Skills in Medicine, can be downloaded here:
Chapter 1
Google book also provides a good sampling of the book and the full e-book version can be purchased at the cost of about RM150. Click here for the google book preview version.
And download an article by one of the co-authors of the book (Suzanne Kurtz) here.
