How to acquire communication skills
Good doctors communicate effectively with patients
they identify
patients' problems more accurately, and patients are more satisfied
with the care they receive. Doctors with these skills also have greater
job satisfaction and less work stress. Maguire and Pitceathly (p 697)
review the key tasks in communication and the skills needed and
describe how to acquire them.
