You'll learn to actively listen, use appropriate verbal and non-verbal cues, explain complex medical information in understandable terms, and build rapport with patients from diverse backgrounds. Mastering patient communication skills will enhance your ability to provide compassionate care, improve patient satisfaction and adherence to treatment plans, and ultimately contribute to better health outcomes in your medical practice.
