A probe into methods of developing the doctor-patient communication skill for anesthesiology medical students

In view of the problems that anesthesiology medical students have such as poor communication awareness, lack of communication skills, lack of confidence, and so on, it is particularly important to improve the students' doctor-patient communication ability, guarantee their medical quality and reduce the dispute between doctors and patients. In the teaching practice, we improve students' ability of doctor-patient communication by paying more attention to the education of medical ethics, strengthening the train-ing of professional knowledge and skills, optimizing the curriculum structure, improving the quality of teachers, the implementation of case teaching, and establishing a comprehensive evaluation mechanism etc, and have got good results.
