SESSION CONTENT 

Who, What, Why, When, Where, How, How Much and More: The seven key questions and some bonuses of medical communication teaching 

This session explores the rational for doctor-patient communication learning and teaching by answering the questions of who, what, why, when, where, how and how much. The presenter will share his experience in conducting small group simulated communication workshops and the positive impact of the training on team work, feedback and reflective practice. 

Interview, Story, Conversation, Poem - Ways of looking at medical communication 

This session considers doctor-patient communication from different angles: as a means of exchanging information, as a narrative of illness, as social interaction, and as an aesthetic construct involving point-of-view, metaphor and illumination. The presenter will argue that doctor-patient communication integrates all of these angles and that English instruction in medical settings can usefully draw upon them to develop proficient, professional speakers and listeners.
