Course introduction
Overview
This learning module explores through four different situations of interaction between doctor and patients the mistakes and best practices in doctor-patient communication.
Four patient types express their needs/fears/expectations and the doctor at first doesn't match with the right communication approach. The videos are built in a stop-and-go layout so that Doctors can reflect on possible alternative ways to manage the
patient.

After completing the module, the student will be able to:
- recognize different communication styles
- receive suggestions on how to adapt their personal style of management
- understand how be flexible in the interaction with the patient
- be aware of the value of listening and versatility
Target audience
